Windows 10: Cannot customize Windows folders to the desired type

On Windows 10, File Explorer includes five different templates to customize the view of folders, including "General items" (default for every new folder), "Documents," "Pictures," "Music," and "Videos." Unfortunately, for some unknown reasons, I cannot customize my folders from the default "General items" to "Documents," "Pictures," "Music," and "Videos." Below are the steps that I used.



1) Start File Explorer and select the target folder for change.

2) Right-click against the folder to select "Properties."

3) Select the Customize tab on the top right.

4) Under the "Optimize this folder for:", select "Pictures."

5) Select yes for "Also apply this template to all subfolders"

6) Click <OK>



Windows accepted the change without giving any error. But when I verify if the target folder get changed, it is no, it is still customized for "General items." (not "Pictures"). The same situation happens when I try to change the target folder to other types (such as "Documents," "Music," and "Videos.").



The above same problem also appears when I try to make a change to all other folders. For step 6), I have also tried to click <Apply>, then <OK>, but the result is the same.



Any idea on how to solve the above issue?

Change Folder View Layout in Windows 10


"uhm that method does not work. i want to set folder view as List as default instead Details for all folders"
Did you download and run Brink's .bat file in Step 1 ? Lacking that, look at the screens in post 3. In Step 5 'folders of this type' defaults to each of the Windows templates for Pictures, Music, etc. If you want ALL folders to have the same List view, r-click any folder in each of the 5 folders under This PC (Desktop does not apply) and hit 'Customize this folder'. Set to 'Optimize this folder for General Items". Then follow the screen in post 3 using List instead of Details in Step 1 and you should be good to go.

Windows 10 Tweaks

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
