Same Columns EVERYWHERE!!!
Fine! This buggs me since Vista was released and it even points back to XP.
It is really easy to understand: I open the explorer and browse to C:. I set up my columns as I need them. In particular this is: Name, Filesize, Filetype and Date. I want that to be the default setting for EVERY folder, regardless wheter it is an old one, or I create a new one. I just want EVERY folder to show MY chosen columns. How can I do this in a permanent way? Thanks in advance!

Open Windows Explorer Set up a folder the way you want it If you do not have the Menu Bar (File Edit View Tools Help) Then Click on Organize Layout Menu Bar to turn it on. Click on Tools Folder Options... View tab Click the "Apply to Folders" button. It will ask "Do you want all folders of this type to match this folder's view settings?" There is a bit of a catch in the part 'of this type'. It seems to me that Vista typecasts folders based on contents, so the settings for a 'data' folder may not carry over to a 'picture' folder, in my experience. Aaron

This is exactly the thing that bugs me! I did it this way, but it does not
work for all folders and I really do not want to set up dozens of folder types! "Aaron" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... Léon Dìgnon wrote: Fine!
