| | Folder View I thought that by selecting 'Apply to Folders' in Folder Options it would apply to all folders. But I still find myself changing the folders to 'List' and removing the column headers. I have Vista Basic sp2 and have thought they would have corrected this by now. Or, is there a problem with my system? Thanks, James |

If you look closely at the option it says that it applies to "all folders of this type". There are various subcategories of folder Documents, Pictures and videos etc, so you may have to repeat the process a few times until you've covered all the various types. Having said that Vista is undeniably forgetful in this area. Symptomatic of Window's old age perhaps. -- Jon |
