Windows 10: How to MAKE my folders keep the view settings I choose for each one.

Hello all, I recently have come across an issue that is driving me crazy.


One day I accidently chose the folder option to "apply this view to all folders of this type", THINKING that it would only change certain folders of that type.


Now most of my folders default to details even though I want some of them to show medium icons, I have 50 or so app icons that I want in specific folders, and in those I want them to show medium icons.


It seems that none of my picture or video folders were affected.


BUT every time I set my folders to view medium icons for a specific folders only it ALWAYS defaults back to details for all of them.


I have searched the net BUT the ONLY solution I seem to see working for people who have the same problem is to delete registry keys, Bags and BagMRU. Many articles that I see where they do this it says windows will make new keys after resetting Explorer....

I have exported both of the keys to a folder BUT I cannot seem to bring myself to delete registry keys.


Resetting the folder settings to default does NOTHING.


Does anyone know of another way to cure this issue?


thanks

:)

 

How do I make View permanent in all folders


I keep changing to List View in Folder Options but it doesn't stay that way, nor does it set all the folders on that drive. I would prefer that all folders on my PC open in List View & I can choose Large Icons if & when I want to & have it go back to List View when I exit that folder. Very frustrating.

Many Thanks,

 

Making Vista remember folder view settings

One of the most annoying features in Vista (except UAC) is it's forgetfulness. It constantly forgets all folder views and resets them. Hopefully this little registry fix will solve this issue for everyone experiencing it.

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.
