Hi. I don't know if this is common issue or just me and my Windows 10 setup.

When viewing listings of folders I prefer a simple view showing file "Name", "Size" & "Date Modified" but for some reason the Box folder always includes "Item Type" between "Size" & "Date Modified".

If I change the view settings to remove "Item Type" or even just position it out of the way after "Date...", the next time I restart the system it's back.

Is there any way to have it display without "Item Type"?

Hi David, 

Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!

This column function is actually owned by Microsoft so it might be best to discuss with a Microsoft  customer support if there is a way to remove this header in File explorer.

All the Best,
