Change the defaults for what columns display.

Post by Meester »

I've decided that I don't want to see the Created Date or Accessed Date as columns anymore. I would like to change the default column selection. I know how to turn those two columns off in the current tab, but how do I do that on all tabs and all future tabs?
In other words change the defaults of what columns will be displayed. I thought there was a selection on the right-click menu when picking on a column to "set as defaults", but it's not there now. :( Anybody?

Define your column layout
Menu - View - Folder View Settings - Define this Folder View as Default
File - Save Settings

This won't change columns on other existing tabs (you have to do that manually or close and open them again)

Thank you, that was it! Now maybe I need to set up a button to restore view to the defaults. To work on the others as I click on them. :)

Aaaahhg -- this doesn't seem to work anymore, at least not fully? I did exactly all of the above, then switched to dual panel layout, and sure enough, the other panel still had the unwanted old columns?

Thanks for help

Does it work if you follow the same steps in the second pane and save settings?
