  2. Change music folders to General

    How do you change a collection of music folders to general view?

    For some stupid reason, I cannot.

    This is how is should work, but doesn't:

    I select a folder in explorer.

    right click and select "properties"

    select "customize"

    Under "Optimize this folder for" I change it to general.

    I also click the "Also apply this template to all subfolders"

    It does not work.

    This has worked in the past with Windows, but I can't recall the OS version. Certainly 2000 Pro.

    In fact,

    After I have accomplished the above, the top folder will show it's set to general by once again going to

    "Properties -> Customize -> Optimize this folder for"

    But inside the folder, it is still set to music.

    This makes absolutely no sense.

    I'm an administrator on my device.

    I'm unfortunately using Win 11 Pro and it's up-to-date..

    Hi Fluid

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    May I ask, why do you want to change the Music folder to General Items, what is the purpose, is it that you want a particular view set on that folder, or is it something else?

    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.
