Clearing window column settings
Hello there,
I installed the trial of your r-wipe&clean a few days ago, and so far I'm loving it. I only have one question. I like to set custom columns and sizes/locations for windows, and it seems every time RW&C runs it resets these window column options. Which item do I need to uncheck in order to prevent this from happening?
Thanks!
Russell

RW&C doesn't keep column sizes, only those for windows and alike.
Re: Clearing window column settings
Let me give you an example of what I mean.

Notice in the first image, before RW&C has run, the only column is the "Name" column, the way I like my folders.

The second image is after RW&C has run, the folder columns have returned to windows default, with "Date Modified" "Type" and "Size" all in addition to the "Name" column.
How do I prevent RW&C from "cleaning" this folder column preference, so even after RW&C runs, I still only have the "Name" column?
Thanks again!

Re: Clearing window column settings
Do you mean that rw&c changes the column settings in Windows Explorer?
Re: Clearing window column settings
Yes, please, that is what I'm trying to avoid.
Thanks!

Re: Clearing window column settings
Most likely you have Stored Explorer View Settings checked in you personal traces section of rw&c. Clear it and your view setting won't be changed.

Outstanding! Thank you very much, exactly what I was looking for!
