List view groups file in a horizontal layout, I use this often when I want to quickly find a file using my keyboard. Small icons will display your icons in a columnar layout which you can read from left to right in a zig zag fashion. This icon view works best when used with additional sorting options available in File Explorer such as Sort by and Group by. Medium icons are focused on giving a bird’s eye view of files within a folder. For instance, Extra Large icons will be most useful when viewing PowerPoint Presentations, Pictures, and other media files. Each offers options depending on the document type. The File Explorer Layout includes eight ways to view icons that include details. Including writers, SAP ERP data, Assistant name, phone number, anniversary, and more. If you click “ More” at the bottom, you’ll discover a smorgasbord of attributes that you can use to sort files. Right-clicking on the column bar reveals additional attributes to choose from. The “Details view” is not limited to just these four columns.
The Size Columns to Fit will automatically resize all columns so no detail is truncated. If you use long file names, you can resize the entire column manually to view a file name in its entirety. The name column can filter files in alphabetical groups, date range, file types, and file sizes.Ĭolumns widths are customizable, too. Each column header includes hidden filters, which let you dig into each file so you can be specific about what you are looking for.
Of course, these are just the basics of what you can do with your files in File Explorer. The Type and Size options groups files based on their respective application and file size on disk. The name column lets you sort files and folders alphabetically. Detail view lets me easily click a column so I can group files according to any attribute.įor example, if I want to view the latest or the oldest files, I can do so by clicking the column header. My personal favorite way to visual files is the Details view, which sorts all my files in columns by name, date modified, type, and size. You can toggle by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + 6 and Ctrl + Shift + 2. File Explorer uses two default views: “Details” and “Large icons”. To begin, click Start > File Explorer or press Windows key + E and go to your Documents folder (or the directory you want).
