Removing columns

Post by harryray2 »

Can I permanently delete columns such as date recently changed and file list filename?

No.

What are you trying to do?
Do you wish to prevent properties from showing in the Select Property window?

It's to get rid of columns I don't use to remove clutter..What I do at the moment is move the columns to the end so that I don't have to horizontally scroll as much in the search window.

Right click the column header and click Remove column.

I've been doing that but the column returns after a restart..I assume I can't get rid of it permanently.

I thought maybe I could do it with a filter but that doesn't work.

Please check your home columns under Tools -> Options -> Home -> Columns.
-Change this to (Use last value).

Please check if a filter/bookmark is temporarily showing this column.
Search -> Organize filters -> Select Filter -> Edit... -> Columns -> set to (No change).

Please make sure Everything is saving its settings to disk:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab on the left.
  • Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything
  • Click OK.
Right click the column header and click Remove column.
From the File menu, click Exit
Restart Everything.
Does the column persist?

I did that before but it didn't work...this time I exited Everything and the service.

It appears to have worked this time. Thanks.
