    Windows 10 Customizing Folders


    I recently moved to Windows 10.
    I have about 130 folders in Pictures.
    I customized each folder with a pic from that folder using the following method:

    right click on folder/properties/customize/choose file/open/apply/ok.

    I have noticed today that about 20 of the folders are missing the pic that I used to customize the folders with, and have been replaced with a couple of pics from within the folder.

    I am now unable to customize the folders in the usual way - Windows will no longer allow me to customize any folder.

    Any ideas what has gone wrong please?

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    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.
