Vista - Why cant i use details view as default?!?

When you open the folder click Views and choose Details. Leave it that way
when you close the folder. It'll remember that view next time you open it.

Oh, I guess there is no way to do that. But there's no rule that says you
have to sit there and set the view for every single folder in one sitting.
Just wait until you actually open the folder for a real reason and set the
view then. It's just a mouse click or two. You don't care what the view is
in folders you never open.

I have tried selecting details view and selecting "use on all folder.." (or
whatever it's called. I use Danish Vista). But it still gives me different
views depending on what is in a folder. This is extremely annoying. Is there
something I can do?

Yes, but the point was I want to make it default without having to select it
for every single folder.

Right click on your Harddrive in explorer select properties.
Select the pane called something like costumize,
(Danish: Tilpas)

Choose the view you want and tick on the use on subfolders checkbox
bellow the scrolllist.

Yes, that was excactly the kind of thing I was looking for!... except
explorer crashed when selected "apply" :/

Seems Vista is far from stable, I get crashes frequently.

Hej Per...


Hmm. i have not yet had a crash... actually wonders about how that
blue screen looks like :-)

Vista is rock stable on my system. And i run on 'old' hardware.
(2yrs.) !

Anyway, i use the above mentioned method, works fine.
BTW: you have to do it separately for each HDD.

Regards

Vista is stable on my machine. Perhaps it is something that your hardware
or drivers are causing.

If it works for you they must have removed this for the USA release of
Vista(?) I right-click on C Properties, and there is no "Customize" tab.

C: is the root of the drive, you will njot see a Customize tab there. You
need to select an actual folder.
