This tutorial will show you how to add and remove columns in a folder for your account in Windows 11 and Windows 10.

When you are using a details layout view for a folder, all items in the folder will be displayed by details in columns.

You can select the details you want to display for the items in a folder.

Here's How:

1 Open File Explorer (Win+E).
