In there open up Folder Options. Note : The Apply to Folders button won't be available if the folder you selected in step 2 is in a library. Note: When you apply a view to folders that are optimized for a particular kind of file, the view will also be applied to any new folders of that type. For more information ,click on the Start button and type Help in the search box and open up Windows Help and Support. Browse through the options for more help.
Do revert back for more assisstance. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. To continue making changes to folder options, proceed to the next steps.
If done making changes, click OK. The "Click items as follows" heading contains options to change how to open items in Windows Explorer. By default, Double-click to open an item single-click to select is selected. To change this setting so that a user will only need to click on an item once to open it, select Single-click to open an item point to select.
The "Navigation pane" heading contains options to change how the Navigation pane operates when opening folders in Windows Explorer. There are two options under this heading: Show all folders and Automatically expand to current folder.
In other words, as users are setting Folder Options under the Personalization section of Control Panel, to me it seems they'd co-locate all the related controls instead of making users frustrated by wondering why the options they set are not being "globally" applied to ALL folders on their computer. This is useful, can't believe it's only now I've wanted to set all views to a particular type. Other users are correct. This doesn't work, as Folders seem to revert to their "type" depending on their contents.
I had to search hard for this - the "answer" at the start of the thread annoyed me by totally missing the point of the question, bu finding this made it all worth while.
This works fine for me except where there ar NO files in the folder, only other folders. If you drop a tiny text file in then it seems OK. MS sure hate the simple life and I totally agree with Lord Koos comments on the designers. I wish I had his restraint and and could avoid profanity. But that's ok. The real problem is we're talking about two different things which should really be two different threads:.
If this is your concern, you have NOT found how to do it, and wish to just vent a little, then fine, I supposed you can post too sigh. Because of the complete absence of customization options, I surmise nothing will help THAT little situation other than one or several registry hacks.
But I have yet to find one. If you do, or you have, please please! I'm sorry, but this is NOT the solution. As soon as you open another folder with different kinds of files, it changes the view setting. People below who are saying this is the solution are clueless. Fortunately, there is a fix. Download the bat file in the link below, close all windows and apps, and run it as an administrator. What the above "solution" doesn't mention is that MS has screwed up the View settings feature by trying to make Windows "think.
So they thought we needed to be able to view different folders differently if they contain different types of content. So, with Win7, if you dump a bunch of MP3 files into a documents folder, it switches that folder's view setting to "Music". What the above linked registry hack does is it turns of this "smart" detection "feature" and makes all folders "General Items" regardless of what kinds of files they contain. And every single day I have to waste my time changing individual folders from Large Icons view to Details view again and again and again.
Is there seriously no way to see details in the root folder and display only the image files themselves as large icons? Did the brain dead parasites at the Microsoft monopoly never think of the possibility that Large Icons should ONLY apply to image files and the folders that contain them directly? Do you think your users who have more than 20 subfolders of photos need to see 6 of the 20 big brown folder icons when looking up a picture?
Or do you suppose they'd prefer to see a list of their subfolders? Oh, they can just switch the view back and forth every time using our handy drop-down menu point, click, find the thing, point, click, repeat ad nauseum.

Friday, November 6, AM. Hi, The "Apply to folders" settings apply the current view setting to all folders that are optimized for the same content as the folder you have open. Wednesday, November 11, AM.
Hi, According to my test, you can apply view settings to all folders of the same type. Here are the detailed steps: 1. Tuesday, November 10, AM. It doesn't seem to remember these settings for all the folders. I browse though some folders and go back to "Computer" and the view has changed to "titles" or "Details".
And the optical drive defaults back to "details" when I enter a subfolder. I want to know too. Friday, April 9, PM. How about Network Files? File open Thanks, John.

Thursday, August 19, PM. Friday, August 20, AM. Thank you so much I was going crazy trying to figure it out! Saturday, August 28, AM. I will do the alt and get into folder options but when I look at view "apply to Folders" is disabled. Is there another way. Thursday, September 16, PM. Friday, September 24, AM.
Monday, December 6, PM. Blah-Bee , on September 11th, at pm Said:. Proposed as answer by sharepointisneedlesslycomplex Friday, December 17, AM. The five templates are called in Windows 7 : General Items Documents Pictures Music Videos When a folder is opened, Windows Explorer examines the contents to see if it can automatically determine which folder template to use to display the folder contents.
THAT is what i want to know! Friday, December 17, AM. Tuesday, January 11, PM. Wednesday, January 19, AM. Wish you well. Sunday, February 13, PM.

Wednesday, February 23, PM. Saturday, February 26, PM. It is , I'm running Windows 7 bit and while I can update the folders on my computer, I still can't get this to work on any media general or otherwise on an optical drive.
What gives? Thursday, March 3, PM. People, stop trying to make this work. Those who could get it to work, are simple users who have yet to really use it. This thing fails each time it tries to think, so when something triggers that brain and wake it up, it wakes up and do its job incorrectly.
