    Folder Setting Changed


    I've set my directories to be set to list. Recently I noticed that one of them with sensitive data has had the settings changed. No other directories have been changed. What would cause this?



    If you set all your objects in directories to appear as specific type and then under options you select “apply to folders”, what causes one of them to revert to a different setting?



    For example I’ve had mine set to “list” for many days. One day I notice the format has been changed to medium icons.



    My assumption is that this folder has been changed by someone.

    :)

    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.

    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)
