Add custom columns in Windows Explorer

Folder header Context menu Modification
I want to know how to modify and add to the default column details context menu in vista.
Open a folder.
Right click on the column headers and you get a context menu.
This menu contains: 'type, size, authors, tags and date modified.

1. What is the correct name of this context menu ?
2. Where do I find it in the registry ?
3. How do I modify it to include "Date Created" ?

I know all about how to set default columns. That is NOT what I want to do.

Hello Mrgcav,

Not sure if this is what you are wanting, but doing step 2 in OPTION ONE of the tutorial below can help show you how to select the Date Created column to add it.
