Vista - Windows Explorer Customized View

It seems that with Vista you cannot customize a view of the folder in
Explorer (add selective fields) then cascade down to all subfolders under
that folder. With previous Windows you can do that. I tried check the mark
"Also apply this template to all subfolders" under "Customize" tab in
properties, but it didnot retain the customized view...this option appears
only work for those "templates" prebuilt in the dropdown menu: All Items,
music details, etc. This is very very annoying as I am used to browse all my
subfolders the same way I set up an overall folder view...

Can anyone help: am I missing something here? Thanks a ton!
