Minimum column width in file explorer

Hi,

Iam sure this came up before but all I could find wasn't actually addressing the issue of the minimum width.

Is there a way to make columns like the "Status" for files on OneDrive or "Size" smaller?

They take up unnecessary screen real estate but are too useful to just hide.
See image.

Thanks

    Hi TAF_Admin, I am Paulo and I'd like to help.

    Unfortunately, there may not be a way to resize it. I personally place the Status column before the Name so it takes up less space and so the sync symbols are attached to the file icons.

    There's no built in interface to make the columns smaller than their preset minimum, but you can override those minimums with WinSetView.
