I need to have a customized Disk Management view. I have no problem changing the views but cannot find a way to set the customized view as the default view.
Paul, I can change the view but when I exit the changes I make are changed back to the original settings.
Hi,
You need to create a Custom Console
Open Run, Type mmc, Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER
In the console, Click File menu, Add/Remove Snap-in.
Select "Disk Management", Click Add, Select "This Computer", Click Finish, Click Ok.
Click the View menu, Select "Customize", Remove: "Console Tree", "Action Pane".
That Should be very close to the original one... Customize it as you want.
Click File Menu, Save, Give it a name, Click save. Put it in your documents and create a shortcut to it where you need.
When ever you want your Custom Disk Management Console use your shortcut.
Malo,
Brilliant.
May the songs of a thousand harps praise your every step.
And they are transferable. I've just copied mine to another computer and it still shows up as I wanted with all Status column text visible.
- Both computers have the same resolution [1920x1080].
- I've since tried it on a 1920x1200 computer and the text was all visible on that as well.
- I just had to adjust the vertical layout for each computer to include all of my disks in the graphical section.
It also works in Windows 11.
I had to adjust the vertical layout to suit my Windows 11 computer's low screen resolution [1366x768] but the text was already all visible.

MaloK, that absolutely was what I was looking for. Definitely learned something new today! Thanks a bunch!

Malok, that is lovely, many thanks. Like Denis said. Now when I open it, everything is fully expanded. I love it.
