In XP, I could right click on any file, select properties, go to summary tab and I would have some columns to edit, e.g. Title, Author, Category ect.

In this example, see images below, I've give each file a category of sport.

I could then right click and select Arrange Icons By Category, and Show in Groups, and all the files would be shown in category groups.

In Win 8.1, when I right click on a file, I don't get the summary view, just General, Security, Details.

I know I can right click in 8.1 and use Sort By and Group By, but how do I edit the column details like Categories ect., as I would have done in the Summary tab in XP?

E.g. I might want to add year to these movies:

The Details tab has been moved to the Details pane in Windows 8. You can turn it on as follows:

  1. On the File Explorer ribbon, select the View tab
  2. In the Panes group, select Details pane

This will open the Details pane where you can access the details for the file currently selected in the File Explorer window.
