    Change default new folder type?


    Whenever I create a new folder it always starts out formatted for music, please see the columns here: https://imgur.com/a/r65crKW

    Is there a way I can change the default of newly created folders to another type, like Documents perhaps?

    I don't want to use the "apply to all folders" method as I have thousands of folders on my pc and I don't want to change how they are displayed. Also I tried this method a year or two back and it didn't change how newly created folders looked. I imagine I have to change something in the registry?

    Any help appreciated.

    How to change default app for file type

    'Open With > Choose another app' has three step, in the first it only offers apps registered for that file type. If you click 'More apps' it lists all registered apps regardless of suitability. Both these steps have the tick-box for 'Always use...' in my 18363.752. The third step, if needed, is 'Look for another app on this PC'. The 'Always use...' must be ticked before taking this step if you want the change to stick. However, WMP appears at the second step.

    For a quick look at a JPG almost anything (including WMP) is more practical than Photos which on my system takes more than ten seconds just to open a photo. The OP is probably not aware that the Windows Photo Viewer is still available in W10, but hidden away. That's my default viewer for JPG.


    Restore Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 10

    And, once enabled, is available in Settings > Apps > Default apps.

    Change Folder View Option To a New Default Setting

    That's ok.

    In step 1, you set a default template for all folders.

    in step 2, you set the folder view to "sort by" "type" for what you wanted, then "Apply to folders" to set it for all folders.
