    Hi! I find the width setting on the name column of my Music folder on my Win11/64 laptop to be too small. Now, when I change it, the next time I open the folder, the setting reverts. How do I get it to stick?

    In Explorer, double-click on the line in the header between the "Name" and the next column (the default is "Date Modified"). This will resize the "Name" column to its widest name - at THIS time - and, on my Win11 24H2 system, it seems to be persistent. As always, YMMV, and I have not rebooted to see if the setting survives.
