    How to make a Win Explorer column option permanently a top of menu?


    I want to have the 'Length' column option appear, by default, with the rest of these options in this Explorer menu:

    Currently when I right click a column header to make the options come up, I have to scroll down quite a ways to find the option, select it, and click OK.

    I tried using the 'Move Up' button to make the option come near the top where I want it, but that only works for the specific folder I'm in at the moment. I need it to change everywhere, as it gets tedious to scroll down the bazillion options every single time for every folder I need it for (there are many folders where this column is needed).

    Is there a way to make it work everywhere instead just the specific folder I changed it in?

    :)

    Permanently Changing Column Headers for Music in File Explorer

    I am trying to permanently change column headers in my music files while in File Explorer. I know how to go to "view" and change the options, but there is no way to make these changes permanent. How do I accomplish this? I am trying to delete " contributing
    artist" and replace it with "album artist".
