How to make all the folders into medium sized icons

Hi,
How to make all the folders into medium sized icons. i mean i don't want windows to remember folder settings separately. and i have tried removing this (remember each folder view setting) like in XP but it didnt help. and also if i reset everything in >views\ reset folder. all icons turns into detailed view but i want them to be medium sized.. is there any possibility to turn all into medium sized icons??

Thanks in advance ...

Re: How to make all the folders into medium sized icons

Hi,

If you change the view of any folder to medium icons, then go to tools >
folder options > view tab > press "apply to folders" button.

This will make this view default to all folders of that tipe.

is that what you're looking for?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply Malu,
Yeah I've tried it with and without (remember my each folder's settings) it but its not applying that settings to any other folders at all.. i don't understand why.. Do i need to do something with the registry to make it work?? coz i was going with the same thing in google and i found a thread which has a registry file to reset the folder option problem.. should i go with it?? do u have any clue??

Hi Harish,

Run Method Two in this tutorial to reset all folder views, then go back and set a window to Medium icons and use the "Apply to Folders" method (step 27).

Windows Explorer Folder View settings

Hope this helps,
Shawn
