Windows 10: Help with folder customizations

Hello all!

I have a large external drive that I use to move photos and videos for a small operation. I have customized certain folders as video folders or whatever to make it use the video folders view instead of general items. However I have noticed that if I plug the drive into another computer some of the folders randomly revert back to general items.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help!!
