Windows 10: How Can I Customize my Library Folders When I Set Up My New Computer

I got a new computer and will eventually set up Windows 11. I want to customize the Library Folders. I want to set up a folder that says "Audio Files" or "Podcasts" instead of "Music. How can I do this?

Libraries No Longer Displays Folder's View Setting

Since the latest update, viewing a folder from within a library shows the view setting (list, details, tiles etc.) that the library has set rather than the view set for that actual folder.

Before the update, it would show the way the folder itself was set up therefore I could use the "Apply view to all folders" function and set every folder to list. Now, each folder does remember its view setting from within the library but I can't find a way to set it for them all, I'd have to go in to each folder individually and set the view to list.

Is there a new way around this or is it a bug from the new update?

Edit: It doesn't even remember each folder's settings so I can't find any way at all of using the library with list view other than changing it each time I look in the folder.

 

Windows 11 > File Explorer > Libraries > View > Change default view for all folders and sub-folders of all Libraries listed?

• I created New Folder
  
• Properties > Customise > Optimised for General Items > tick box Also apply this template to all sub-folders
  
• New Folder > View is List
  
• Options > Folder options > View > Folder views > Apply to Folders
  
• Include in library > Create new library
  
• Go to Libraries > New Folder > View is List
  
• Open New Folder > View is Details?
