Windows 10: How to make Windows Explorer remember the column set per each folder and prohibit it from...

I have a very hierarchical file structure on my drive with tens of thousands of folders. Oftentimes once the folder is opened I am switching to "details" viewing mode. And I customize the columns the way i need remove unnecessary, add new ones, change their width etc.But what kills me is that for decades Win 11 included these column settings couldn't be saved and remembered by the File Explorer per each individually. Like, when I close a folder and/or when go above and e.g. rename the folder's name and re-open it again, my desired config of columns in the "details" view gets completely for

:)

Permanent Windows Explorer folder view settings system wide AND column headings.

I haven't been able to find a solution to my specific problem

I know how to change the list feature and add/remove column headings for particular folders. But I would like to permanently choose the default list type and column headings for Windows Explorer . I want to be able to open up Windows Explorer and look at any folder and see the detail list shown with my chosen column headers.

I still want to be able to change individual folder display preference, but I want the default to be list details, and include headers "Date Taken" and "Date Created". I don't want to have to do this on a folder by folder basis. I have hundreds.

Thanks!
