Organize / Folder & Search Options / View

How do you add details to be displayed about the files?

When I open my music files and/or video and movie files, I like to see a column for:

song
artist
duration
size
file type
date created

XP go to view and choose details and there were like 20 different choices

Can not find that on Win7 Pro 64

Right click on any column header you see and you'll get a checklist.
