Remove the File Test column

So I have no data coming in on the files column and I would like to remove it from the display. 
 
While searching I found this:
 
I don't want to display column foo in my display. How do I do that ?
A. Add the entry NOCOLUMNS:foo,bar to hide column foo and bar.
 
so my command would be 
 
NOCOLUMNS:files
 
Is this correct and which file do I add it to?

Edit bb-hosts and add NOCOLUMNS:foo after the # on the host that you
wish to mask the column on e.g.:

0.0.0.0 host.domain.com #NOCOLUMNS:foo

or to do this on a group you could use the group-only command e.g:

group-compress mygroupname
group-only columns|tobe|shown
0.0.0.0 host.domain.com

Yes, and you shoud added it in bb-hosts to the host or
with the default entry for all pages, special pages .. groups ...

0.0.0.0. .default. #

Hello guys 
to clarify, I want to remove the column for files for all hosts on a specific page 
 
I tried this and it didn't work.
 
page=WINDOWSHOSTS #NOCOLUMNS:files

Ok this not the most elegant or efficeint solution but it worked.
 
In the include file I add the # NOCOLUMN:files after each entry
10.1.1.1             Host1     # NOCOLUMNS:files
10.2.2.2             Host2     # NOCOLUMNS:files
 
I would have liked a way to refrence the NOCOLUMN for all hosts in the include file but this works.
