Folder View

Is there a way to set a default for the view of the items in a folder? For
example, everytime I open a folder, I would like to view the contents as a
list rather than thumbnail.

Thank You!

Re: Folder View

Yes, however it does not give me the option to apply to all folders. Only
reset folders.

Hi Emmz,

This tutorial will show you how to reset the folder views so Vista will remember your settings as you last left them for a window.

Windows Explorer Folder View settings


This tutorial will show you how to modify the folder template and how to apply them to all folders of the same type.

Windows Explorer - Folder Type Templates

Hope this helps you,
Shawn
