To quickly resize the columns/ headers (of Details view) inside a folder, you can use the “ Ctrl +” hotkey. One way to resize the headers is to grab the edge of a header with your mouse and drag it to the desired length. Nevertheless, this problem can be easily solved by changing the size of the header. Usually, when you open a folder and change the current view mode to Details, the columns do not adjust their size according to the content in each field. That’s the reason why you cannot view the complete attributes, such as file names, titles, file size, creation date and other information, of the files. Join us after the break for a extremely simple way to instantly adjust the width of all columns in a folder that has the Details view. You can drag each column to the required size or double-click the right edge of a header, but doing so in every folder is a tedious task. Though, you might have noticed that sometimes, when you open a folder and switch to Details view, the columns are not appropriately sized according to the field content. In the Details view, files are displayed much like they are in the List view, but with additional information.

For instance, I keep Medium Icons as a default viewing mode for most of my content, but prefer Details view mode to view the audio files in my music collection folder. While most users do not usually change the default view mode, other view modes, like Extra Large Icons, Details view mode, also come in handy in different situations. The Windows 7 & 8 Explorer provides users with a lot of viewing options including Extra Large Icons, Large Icons, Medium Icons, Small Icons, List, Details, Tiles and Content.
