Or if you mean you don't get what you want when you open a new window, use Settings -> Set as Default Lister after making whichever changes you want.[/quote]
Leo, it IS the window I'm talking about.
In the Commander Layout (my default Lister) I moved the Modified column over next to the Size column.
Then I clicked "Set as Default Lister".
Then I close DO, and when I open it back up, the columns are back to the original placements.
Is the option shown below also on? If so then the format in the Default Lister is ignored and you should follow the Folder Formats FAQ to set the format(s) you want for your folder(s).
(Having that option on actually simplifies things as you don't have to worry about the Default Lister opening with one format and then having another format used when you change directories. I keep forgetting the option is there, though! Apologies.)

Leo:
If I check "Ignore folder format..." and uncheck "Update default automatically, the format holds.
Then it seems I can set specific folders specific ways.
But then where is the "default folder setup coming from for future folders?
