Setting Folder Views

Hello,

Is there a way to set all folders to the same view when initially opened?

I want all folders to open to DETAILS view.

The Folder and Search Options from the Organize menu does not seem to work
the way it did with XP where you could set the default view of all folders.

Thanks if you can help.

Hi FK,

If Vista will not remember you folder view settings, then do all of method two here to reset it so it will remember them.

Windows Explorer Folder View settings


Now, take a look at this Folder Template tutorial for more on this subject and as a reference for the instructions below.

Windows Explorer - Folder Type Templates

1. Click View and choose Details.
2. Click Tools and choose Folder Options.
3. Click View tab and click Apply to Folders.
4. Click Ok.
