When you open a folder, all the items in it are displayed by list. Is it possible to make it so that they are automatically displayed by Large Icons instead? Or am I stuck with always having to right-cick then change it everytime I open a new folder?

Try clicking the down arrow for views in the top left corner. Then exit out of the folder and then go back in and see if it stayed the same.

No, no. I want it so that I view folders automatically by Large Icons. Your way is just the same way I described in my first post. It only changes it for one folder at a time.

What you need to do is change the view to how you want, including such items as columns, etc, then do the following:
  1. Click "Organize"
  2. Click "Folder and Search Options"
  3. Open the "View" tab
  4. Click Apply to all folders
  5. Click OK

So now, even if I make a new folder it will display by Large Icons, or does this work only for currently existing folders?
