    Is it possible to permanently add the Pixel Dimensions column in Windows Explorer Details view?

    Thanks

    That does not permanently display the column. When I restart the computer, it is gone. I am hoping to add it as a default column

    After doing the above, press [Alt][T], then [O] ('oh', not zero), select the 'View' tab, click the 'Apply to Folders' button to apply the settings for the folder you are currently in to all other folders of this type, then click 'Yes', then 'OK'.

    Apply to folders will only be active directly after you have made a change.

    That's definitely not default behavior. Is this on a local (fixed) hard drive?

    Wouldn't you know that this machine has made a liar out of me this morning. When I started it today, the Dimensions column was there, which it wasn't after restarting it on the day I started the post.:confused:
    Go figure
    I will mark this solved until it doesn't work again
    Thanks for the assist
