When I open Windows Explorer, select a folder, then, View->Choose Details->
the only attributes that are listed to choose from are: Name, Size, Type,
Date modified, Date created, Date accessed, Attributes, and Status.

I do not see all the other possible attributes (e.g. photo EXIF information
like, Date Picture Taken, Dimensions, etc, etc).

How do I enable this?

Thanks,
-Keith

Right click on any of the column headings like Name. That will bring up
a list.

I know that, but thanks anyway.

The problem is that the details list which is presented contains only those
fields as I described in my original post, irrespective of how I get to the
list.

Well....that is not quite what I want to do... I'd like ALL my photo
folders to have a specific set of columns (such as date picture taken,
size, etc..and my music folders too...)

There appears to be NO way to set the My Pictures folder to have that
as a default and all the susequent folders created to have them as
well. Is there a way to create modify folder templates.

TIA

I have the same problems, only those fields are available in Explorer.

Would truly like an answer if somebody knows one.

See if this command helps. From Start, Run:

regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

Restart Windows.

Tnx again, but the problem still exist, just that every other boot (e.g. 2
boots after the dlls registers) they are gone again.
I have tried to narrow everything down on bootup (with msconfig).
None StyleXp or any other shell-thing is running (as least what I can find,
or remember installed).

So what can it be?
Or can I add the code to bootup somewhere, like the register?

Download ShellExView from www.nirsoft.net
Unzip and run the utility.
Disable all the third-party / non-MS "ColumnHandlers" displayed by
ShellExView.
Register the Shell32.dll and reboot.
