  1. Organize folders between desktop views?


    Something I was curious about - my personal computer is also my work computer, and I was hoping there might be a way to be able to switch between desktop views and keep all my work in one view so that I don't have to see it when I'm not working, without having to create two different Microsoft accounts. I looked into the task views option and it doesn't do what I was hoping (all desktop content is the same, but different apps can be open between views).


    If there is such a feature, I'd appreciate some insight - thanks!

    :)

    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.

    Organize folders between desktop views?

    Folder view issue


    I want my folders (and subfolders) to stay in List view but they keep changing to Details view.

    I have tried View>Options>Apply to Folders many times but it doesn't stick.

    Any suggestions?
