Question for jeeswg

[Flanagens]

Someone on IRC said you would be the person to ask. I am on windows 10, in file explorer I only want the columns date modified and type, can a script do that so on any machine even when I reset it or some program resets it as I had, I can press the hotkey and place it back to only shows those columns (plus the file obviously, first column)

Thank you

This code should work to set the columns of the active Explorer window. You would need to the include the library (look up #Include), or functions from it, that appear in the link specified. Cheers.

Code: Select all
