Set default in File Explorer to List View in Windows 10

Here's how to change the default view for all folders of the same type (e.g. Documents)

1. First, change the layout to any folder of the Document-type to List View.
2. Then open the "Change folder and search options" (in the View tab on the explorer window), then go to the view tab there.
3. Finally choose "Apply to folders." Click Yes, and the List View will then be applied to all folders of the same type

Picture-type folders will not be affected by changes made to other folder types.

 

File Explorer views

Is there a way to save a "view" in file explorer? I prefer to see the items in a folder as a List, but every time I open a folder it has defaulted to Details so I have to change it to List.

Can the List view be saved as the default?

 

Library Folder View Options

Hello,

I recently started using Windows 10. I have multiple library folders that I use to access them quickly from file explorer. I prefer to have all folders I'm using, display in Details view. I have all other folders set to default to details view, but my
library folders always default to large icon view.

I changed the options to Details in the main libraries folder, but it did not work. When I open a folder in a library and go to the options>view, the Apply to Folders button is greyed out so I can't seem to get it to work. I had no problem in Windows 7
making all folders Details view.

How can I make all folders in my libraries default to Details view?

Thank you.
