Vista - Getting folder views to STAY PUT!

It's an annoying issue. No matter how many times i change the view of folders [i like large icons] whenever the folder is closed and reopened it's in list mode!

Is there anyway to get it to stay?!

Also, in my 'pictures' folder i have a photoshop folder that i like to keep arranged by "date modified" - any time i want to do this i have to go to properties > custom > all items, as it never seems to "remember" what i've asked and 'applied' it to do.

help x good = many thanks!

i think everything you are looking to do can be found by just right clicking and then
(view) for your icon size. and for photoshop folder (sort by) date modified .

i know how to do it, but i want it to be the default view.. how do i do this?

Also the photoshop folder ALWAYS reverts back to a 'picture' album, where you don't have a "modified" option, onlt 'date taken' 'name' etc....

Windows Explorer Folder View settings

My folder views and details have been steady since using it as long as I
don't click on the user's folder desktop shortcut. I have various
Windows Explorer shortcuts to certain folders instead. 'Computer',
'Network', 'Recycle Bin' behave themselves as well.
You may know that you can add individual columns by right clicking the
column header bar as well as customising.

1. go to any drive (c for example) and set the view of the folder's
2. now go to tools >> folder options >> view and press on apply to folders

The easiest way would be to purchase a third party file manager. Vista
folder customization is illogical and although the documented fixes
work for some people, a lot of people (like you or myself) have issues
with Vista remembering. I also have issues with the logic Vista uses
for selecting customized folder types - for some reason the folders in
my Music directory get set to image folders. And I am constantly
having to reapply settings in my picture processing folder hierarchy.
