You can use WinSetView to set the width of any column as narrow as you like. As long as you don't drag the column separator, it will remain narrow. If you do drag it, the width will pop back to...

Fortunately, an RD command via an HKLM RunOnce does the trick with a regular start up, but I'll keep your safe mode script in mind should the need arise. Good stuff. Thanks!

As noted by Callender, the Windows Defender Protection history can be cleared at machine startup. I have revised the ClearDefenderHistory script to do that:

ClearDefenderHistory | Clear Windows...

Yup

I tried both PowerRun and AdvancedRun to open Cmd as TrustedInstaller and get "Access Denied" when attempting to delete or create a file within "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows...

I'm seeing the same issue. I did my usual test which is to download NSudo from here.

That always causes a false positive "Virus detected". Usually there's no problem clearing it from the history....

Thanks for testing. It's weird. I've never had a problem clearing the history with that script. I assume you've already logged out/logged in and/or restarted, so I can't really think of anything else.

I wonder if it will help to introduce a small pause in the script:



$ScriptBlock = {
$MAPS_Status = (Get-MpPreference).MAPSReporting
Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring 1
...

But what does it show for Protection History in the interface? If it says "No recent actions", you can just ignore those leftover files.

I think it will be fine to use the tenforums Take Ownership script on C:\inetpub:

Or use the "Take ownership and get access option" from my...

Is the full path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\?

If so, it should normally allow writing there without requiring elevation. I think it would be fine to reset the ownership and permissions of the C:\inetpub\...

You can export certain keys from HKCU from one account and then import them into another account, but you have to be careful that you don't capture references to the account name or profile path (or...

Johnny Rico I got the ntuser.dat file and did some testing with it. Unfortunately, I was not able to recreate the problem. It probably depends on some third-party tool to be running. Your profile is...

Good to hear it's okay with a new profile.

I would like to see if I can isolate the setting causing the problem on your main account. If you can send me your NTUser.dat file, I might be able to...

It's dead simple to create a new local user. I think it's a good idea to have second account always ready to go in case something goes terribly wrong with your main account's profile. Here are the...

The ini file you sent was last used to reset the views to Windows defaults, but I unchecked that option and applied your settings. Again, I don't have any problem with the width. Long names are...

I cannot replicate this behavior. I see that you have column headings in List view. That's not a normal Windows 10 view option. What Explorer mods do you have installed?

If you can attach your...

:thumbsup: Welcome to the forum! Good point about the interface. It is indeed a bit quirky.

Please show us a screenshot like the following with "File name extensions" checked and the "File extension" column added. Note that showing of file name extensions makes no difference for shortcuts,...
