Windows 10: [Question] Additional folder optimization entries?

I was wondering if it is at all possible, be it within Windows or via a 3rd party application, to have more than the five default folder optimization options? By default there is General items, Documents, Pictures, Music and Videos. While these cover most bases I wouldn't mind having some folders default to a unique layout. I understand that you can modify these existing optimizations and save them but I was hoping there might be some way of making more in addition to these?

How do I change the folder optimization settings?


@dalchina, I looked briefly for forum rules but didn't see them either in Customizations or the parent forum - I must have missed it. @swarfega, that's entirely different from what I'm trying to do.

In Windows 10, the folder view (such as "Large Icons", "Small Icons", "Tiles", "List", "Details", etc.) defaults on "Details," because the library is optimized for Music.
This optimization can be found by right-clicking on the library, selecting "Properties," and from the drop-down menu underneath "Optimize this library for:" you can select an optimization option. However, these options are redundant and useless. Three of them use the exact SAME view (General Items, Documents and Music use the "Details" view), and the other are for icons.

But that means that these "optimizations" must be found somewhere in the OS, either in the registry or in a file in the core Windows folder, which means that it can be modified.

My goal here is to modify the "Music" optimization preset to show the "List" view, rather than the default "Details" view.

And before any simple suggestion is made... "Apply to folders" does not work for libraries in Windows 10.
This is no easy fix. I'm looking for a way to mod the actual OS as necessary, to permanently alter the preset in question.
