At the top of Explorer's right pane, right click on any of the category (Detail)
names. You'll get a context menu with several of the possible Detail headings listed
and "More..." at the bottom. Click on "More..." You now have a dialog box with
a scroll window on the left that shows all of the selectable Detail headings; each
with a checkbox at the left. From here, check off the headings you want to display
for the current folder. Note also the four buttons to the right, near the top.
"Hide" and "Show" will uncheck or check the box next to a detail heading. The "Move
Up" and "Move Down" buttons allow you to chose the order in which your selected Detail
headings display. The topmost heading will display as the leftmost column, followed
to the right by the others, in order.
Once you have things displayed the way you want, you may not be home free unless
you do one more thing. From the Explorer Menu, pick Tools > Folder Options... then
pick the View tab. In the Advanced settings: window, scroll down just past halfway
and make sure you've got a check in the box next to "Remember each folder's view
settings". This will cause XP to "remember" the uniqe settings for up to 400 folders.
After all that, you should be good to go.
