Show 'Date created' in windows explorer through registry or other GPO
You can enable the display of the "Date created" column in Windows Explorer using the Registry Editor or Group Policy Editor. Here's how:
Method 1: Registry Editor
Open the Registry Editor by pressing Windows + R keys and typing "regedit" in the Run dialog box.
Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes\{4dcafe13-e6a7-4c28-be02-ca8c2126280d}\TopViews\{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
Right-click on the empty space in the right-hand pane and select "New" > "String Value".
Name the new string value "ColumnList".
Double-click on the "ColumnList" value and enter the following value data:
cssprop:0System.PropGroup.DateCreated;System.DateCreated;System.DateModified;System.ItemNameDisplay;System.ItemTypeText
Close the Registry Editor and restart Windows Explorer.
Method 2: Group Policy Editor
Open the Group Policy Editor by pressing Windows + R keys and typing "gpedit.msc" in the Run dialog box.
Navigate to the following policy setting:
arduinoUser Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > File Explorer
Double-click on the "Turn off the caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files" policy setting and set it to "Disabled".
Double-click on the "Turn off the display of the 'Date created' column for all drives" policy setting and set it to "Not Configured" or "Disabled".
Close the Group Policy Editor and restart Windows Explorer.
After following either of these methods, the "Date created" column should be displayed in Windows Explorer.
