I'm not asking for much. I just want ALL folders to file size and dates.

Frequently, the Windows Explorer decides (for unknown reasons) that a folder
contains Pictures and in the View, "Customize this folder" window, sets it
to "Pictures and Videos" rather than "All Items"

There IS a "Apply this template to all sub-folders," this option is not
available on C:\, even when logged in as administrator.

It's tough (and I'm failing) not to get angry with Microsoft. Their
intentions were no doubt good (e.g. "Let's make folder browsing less
intimidating for the average user -- we'll just hide the details of a folder
if we think they aren't neceesary.") However, in implementation, they've
penalized technical users like me who live in the Windows Explorer.
