Changing column widths in Windows Explorer

I'm using XP Pro SP2.

Is there a way that I can change the column widths in the right hand
pane of Explorer (so that I can see all of the filename) for all
folders EXCLUDING the "My Pictures" folder? I use the "detail" view
in all folders except "My Pictures" where I use thumbnails. I have
used Tweak UI and have moved the "My Pictures" so that the path to it
is just C:\My Pictures (same for My Documents & My Videos).

Thanks

Simply, put your mouse pointer over the column dividing line in the column
header, when the arrow turns to a vertical bar with a double ended arrow
pointing left and right, left click and hold as you drag the column width to
your desired size. This will also move any of them to the right, so, you
may have to play with it to get what you want. Or, you can right click in
the particular column of your choice, select "More" from the list of
options, highlight your desired column name and set the pixel width in the
box at the bottom.
Heirloom, old and probably other ways

Yes, I'm aware of those ways of changing the width. I asked about
changing all folders at once except for "My Pictures" (I don't want to
do this for each folder as I have many hundreds of them)
