Change default window views?

**MrHope** · 01-05-2008

Whenever I open a folder in details view I get a bunch of column titles that are useless to me, such as "ratings" and a bunch of others that I can't remember off hand.

The only ones that I want are: Name, Type, Size, Date Modified, Date Created, and Attributes.... in that order. Is there a way I can set a folder up in details mode exactly like this and make all other folders show up like that automatically?

I knew how to do it in Windows 98 SE, but I don't know how to do it in Vista.
I do know how to select the column titles for Vista, I just don't know how to make them "stick" for all folders--so I don't have to set each folder manually. Also some folders seem to revert back to the old crap.

I think this is what your looking for:- Windows Explorer Folder View settings
