| Member | How to change C: folder type My C: folder type is set to Music, I guess, as it shows Artist etc columns. How can I change it to All Types, or Documents? I tried the tutorial, setting it first to NotSpecified and rebooting - no change, then Documents and rebooting -- still no change. There is no Customize option on C: or C:\Windows, so, according to the Tutorial, I changed C:\Users. C:\Users changed but not C: or C:\Windows. |

Method Two in this tutorial will show you how to reset the folder view settings so that Vista will use the "All Items" folder template for all Windows Explorer windows. Windows Explorer Folder View settings Hope this helps, Shawn |
