    Can not set the folder view in windows explorer in Windows 10


    This has been driving me nuts for months now. I have several Windows 10 computers and I prefer to view folders and files in the 'list view'. So I went to the view dropdown and l selected "list" then went to the 'File' tab, selected "Change folder and search options" and in the 'View' tab I click "Apply to folders" and that should be that and forever more the views should be the list view right? Well it is the way it works for all my Windows 10 computers except for one, the one I use most of the time.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
