Windows Explorer is probably one of Windows' most helpful features, letting you browse around your hard drive with ease. You can increase its value even more if you customize the details on folders with specialized contents. To customize folder details, open Explorer (right-click any folder or the Start button and select Explore). When Explorer opens, navigate to a folder you want to customize and click it to open it. From the View menu, select Details, and select Choose Columns (WinMe or Win2000) or Choose Details (WinXP). Click the myriad checkboxes to select or deselect details. Available details run the gamut from standard (Name, Size, Type) to highly specialized (Copyright, Album Title, Date Picture Taken). If you want to change details on the fly while you are browsing the folder, you can also right-click any detail heading and make selections from there.
