File Explorer: how to remove unwanted features?
Explorer wastes an enormous amount of screen estate on features that are not interesting to me:
1. Library folders: I do not want them; I place, as far as possible, everything that matters on a separate partition, where they can be safely shared with Linux, and where they are also safe from Windows innovations.
2. View mode: I always and everywhere prefer Details mode, without a Type column, which adds no information when extensions are already displayed.
Can this be accomplished within Explorer itself?

For more advanced customization, third-party tools like "Folder Options" or "FolderView" can offer deeper control, but since you prefer built-in options, the above steps should suffice.
