Removing columns

[harryray2]

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

[void]

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.

[void]

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.
