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...

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