Explorer keeps showing date created, dimension, etc

(This pertains to explorer, NOT explorer browser (iexplorer) )

Like 99% of the real world, I do NOT want this stoopid Explorer to show Date Created, Date Access, Attributes, or ANY of this extra crap that windows now uses in the explorer when I list a folder full of fotos. I have photo software for that... not for in a 'quick' view of a folder...

It might be cute and okay if there is 1 or 5 photos, but I have an average of 5000-10000 photos and/or videos in each folder.

I right click and uncheck then boxes... so it sometimes stops the extra crap from showing... but then if I create a new folder and dump from the mem stick a few thousand photos, there it is again... slow, clanky with completely useless information that I nor anyone wants in their explorer.

Is there anyway I can set in the registry a means to prevent explorer from ever allow anything besides name, size, modified from being ticked on?

Since explorer is now so screwed up, if not able to fix it, is there an alternative program I can use that will do what explorer used to do perfectly before MS screwed it up?

Right click on the column title (name, type etc) and de-select the columns you don't want to see.

Mr Linux, please read the above where I stated that I do this and yet it still will re-appear occasionally and always reappear in a new folder. Thanks tho!

Choose the folder details you want.

Tools-->folder options-->under the view tab, click apply to all folders.

It will apply your folder settings to all folders.

Thanks you, tried that before as well, but this option does NOT prevent explorer from randomly adding the extra detail items in, nor prevents it from occurring to new folders.

There has to be a way to remove that option permanently in the registry or an alternate program that will replace the explorer folder viewing that works correctly. I'd even settle for a way to re-install the original explorer that worked...

might as well close this thread. No one seems to know any solution. I will just wait for Win 7 to come out and hope it does not have this problem.
