Daily Battles: How to display MP3 files correctly in Windows 10 File Explorer

When looking at a folder of MP3 files in Windows 10's File Explorer, it is super annoying that Windows 10 would choose to display all the files as if you are looking at an Audio CD, where you see info such as title and contributing artists, instead of seeing the file size and when the file was created.

 
There is a way to fix that. It's just not very obvious. Let me show you how:
  1. In File Explorer, go to the parent folder containing all the MP3 files. Rightclick on the folder and select properties.
  2. You should now see a window that looks like the one below. Go to the Customize tab and then click the dropdown box under Optimize this folder for. Select General items instead of Music.
  3. You can also go up a few levels with your folders, do the same thing and then check the checkbox called "Also apply this template to all subfolders", so you don't have to do this once for each folder.
  4. Then click OK to apply your changes.

Once you make this change, your folder content will look normal again like this:


Hope this helps! Moving on to the next battle!
