    Windows Folder default Columns


    When I create a new folder in Windows 10, the default columns are Name / Date Modified / Type / Size .


    Is there away to change the default columns ? I would like to have other columns automatically instead of having to add them manually.


    Thanks,


    Robert

    why won't column headings in File Explorer (Windows 10) stay the way I set them??

    Hello,

    To resolve the issue with column heading on File Explorer, we suggest to follow the steps below:

    • Click on the View Tab.
    • Click Folder Options.

    • Click Apply to all folders.
    Keep us posted.

    Regards.

    How to assign a folder column layout to subfolders?

    Thank you for the response, Andre.

    Unfortunately, the steps you provide do not have an effect on the folder view with regard to the column selection nor order in which they appear.

    Current default columns for "Music" type view:

    Name # Title Contributing Artists Album

    Desired columns and order

    Name Date Modified Length Size Title Date Created
