This new program allows you to customize how files are displayed in Windows Explorer
Despite its obvious simplicity, Windows File Explorer is one of the tools built into the system that we use the most. It is an element that has evolved over the years less than many expect.
What's more, if we take into account that it is a section of Windows that we use for something important like managing all stored content. From here we can carry out multiple tasks related to the use of files and folders that are part of our computer.
In fact, many users, both beginners and Windows experts, have been demanding that Microsoft make important progress in this regard for some time. File Explorer should be a completer and more versatile tool than it is now. And this is precisely why many users choose to use third-party solutions for these tasks.
But we can also opt for programs like WinSetView, the one that we are going to tell you below. Specifically, it is a completely free and open-source program that allows us to customize the display of content in Windows Explorer. To give you a better idea, it is a program that provides us with multiple customizable parameters for this important Windows component.
In addition, we have the possibility of downloading the installable or portable version of WinSetView, depending on the use in which we are going to use it. We can do all this from its official GitHub website through the link below.
Once you run this open-source program, a new window appears on the screen with the mentioned parameters. Here we will find a series of selectable options that allow us to customize the appearance of File Explorer.
The first thing we see here is that it is a long list that we can scroll through to see all the available functions. This way we can look at the different customization sections that we can modify, functionally and visually. It even allows us to modify the most common folders that are part of the Microsoft operating system, such as downloads, photos, documents and more.
At the same time we will have the possibility to change the path of these folders in order to better manage the contents stored here from Explorer. We advise you to take a closer look at all the available functions, which are many. It is worth noting that it is a program that is especially suitable for new and advanced users of the operating system.
At the top of the main interface, we find two specific buttons to view folders generally, or to change their configuration options. Similarly, we find a parameter that we can specify to return the default functions, in case we find a change that does not convince us.
