    Setting defaults for folder details


    Hallo,


    Is it possible to set default settings for folders. There is a button which increases column size to contents but this deactivates as soon as you leave the folder.

    Can you set a default so that the folder automatically sets the column widths.


    Thank you for your help,


    Sean

    :)

    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.
