When you chose "View" - "Details" from within a folder in Windows XP Explorer, columns are shown that Windows XP thinks are the most useful for said folder. For example:
For file folders, these are usually Name, Size, Type, and Date Modified.
For music folders, details shown are usually Name, Size, Type, Artist, Album Title, Year, Track Number, and Duration.
For picture folders, you may see Name, Size, Type, Date Modified, Date Picture Taken, and Dimensions.
However, these chosen details may not be to your liking. Some items may not be needed, others you wish to see. Luckily you can customize these options on a per-folder basis.
From a folder, choose "View" - "Choose Details".
A "Choose Details" dialog box will appear. From here you will have lots of options, listed here in alphabetical order:
