    Windows Explorer: View short date only


    In the details view in Windows Exolorer, Is it possible to view the short date only (e.g. 5/25/2015) without the time being displayed?

    Sure, you can remove any of the columns you don't want:

    I don't want to remove the date column. I just want the short date to be displayed (e.g. 5/25/2015) in the date column, not the long date with the time (e.g. 5/25/2015 2:16 PM).

    I don't believe you can do that at all, and definitely not in Windows Explorer. Maybe a third part file explorer like Q-Dir or similar can.

Is there anyway to remove the short date beneath the time without using some kind of additional program or anything like that? =(
