I know this should be simple but !!!!!!.
When I open file the window opens and with the view menu set at details, I want to add an extra column for date created, this is easy but when I close the window and do whatever I need to the file, then go back to open file, the extra column has gone and I have to put it back in to find the next file in sequence. This simple thing is making a rotten job even worse.
It is the same in X4 and X5.

any help is welcome.

This sounds like a Windows OS problem, not a MasterCAM problem. I work around this by naming my files with last saved date included as a date code. Example: Customer Name Part Number Rev Number Operation Number Date Code (i.e. 091811 for today's date)
