Vista Explorer Details View

Often, when I add a USB drive, and in some folders, Vista decides the
drive/folder contains music and explorer's "Details" view doesn't show the
usual stuff.

I get "genre", "rating", but I want "Date Modified", Type, Size...

Hi KC,

This tutorial below will show you how to change the folder template to "All Items" for what you are wanting. Since it is a detachable USB drive though, Vista will lose it's memory on what the folder view and template settings are for it when it is unplugged.

Windows Explorer - Folder Type Templates


To help Vista remember your folder view and template settings for everything else in Vista, then Method Two in this tutorial can help you.

Hope this helps you,
