In saved MMC consoles that display columns in the details pane, you can customize how the columns and rows appear. For instance, you can reorder or hide columns. You can also reorder rows alphabetically or chronologically by clicking the column heading. In addition, with certain snap-ins, you can filter columns based on additional attributes. If this feature is enabled, drop-down list boxes that contain options for filtering are displayed beneath the column headings. For more information about customizing columns, see To reorder columns in an MMC console, To hide or display columns in an MMC console, and To filter rows in an MMC console.
You can also export the contents of columns to a text file. For more information, see To export columns in an MMC console to a text file.
If you customize the columns in a console, your settings are automatically saved from session to session.
