Vista - Folders

10-03-2009

Running Vista Home Premium 64 bit. When you open a folder there are several
columns one of which is "Tags". Is there any way to permanently remove this
column from all folders and subfolders or do I have to do this individually
for each folder and subfolder? I've checked the folder file in the Control
Panel and there does not seem to be a choice that enables you to do this.
Thanks,
Ellin

Hello Ellin,

You can remove the "Tags" column for the one folder, then use the instructions below to apply the changes made in that folder view to all folders using the same folder template.

A) Open Folder Options
WARNING: Folder Options "must be opened from within the same Windows Explorer window" that you are changing or the "Apply to Folders" button will be grayed out.

B) Click on the "View" tab.

C) Click on the "Apply to Folders" button.

D) Click on "Yes" in the confirmation prompt.

E) Click on "OK".

Hope this helps,
Shawn
