  1. Customizing the appearance and structure of the SEARCH folder


    Good day.How can I make the SEARCH folder look like "table", show the "path" column instead of "location", and disable grouping by default? Tips for setting up regular folders don't help. With each new request, the SEARCH folder is reset to its default view that is inconvenient for me.Sincerely, Bob Turner

    Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

    Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

    • I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.


    • Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.
    That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

    Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

    Customizing the appearance and structure of the SEARCH folder

    Folder structure

    Hi

    I would like my folder structure to have the list view but show thumbnails for files within those folders.

    In the 'folder options' I can only set either picture view or list view. How can I achieve list view AND show thumbs?

    I have realised I can set this manunally for each folder, but it's impractical as I have thousands of directories.

    Thanks for any help
