  1. Folder customization changes randomly


    I set my folder views to a certain view: details, group by type and sort by date modified. Why is it I can hit the apply to all folders button this view, all my folders look the same, I can literally open and close the folder and it has the same view, I can do this everyday for weeks and months on end, it will look the same but sometimes, randomly it will destroy my views; I open and nothing is not grouped, nothing is in details layout and nothing is sorted by date modified. When we have an operating system that is truly dynamic and not static at all, one where the OS does not care at all about the user nor the user settings, how can this be considered a great or useful operating system. How? I RDP every single day into my computers and just randomly it asked me to add the cert to the cache. If I log in every day to that PC via RDP, why is randomly asking me this? How can any one agree with this? I make settings and it should stay that way until I say so, not when microsoft decides.

    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.

    Change Folder Icon in Windows 10


    I just acquired a new laptop running Windows 10 and am trying to change the icons of the folders in the StartUp "Program" folder so that they would stand out a little better. I used my admin account and followed all the steps listed above, but when I clicked on "Apply", nothing happened. The same basic windows folder icon remained attached to the folder. I also tried to go into Properties and capitalize some of the folder names, but that didn't work either. Looks like something is protecting them, but I cannot figure out what it is much less how to get around this blockage, Any suggestions?
