Default Can I set a default folder view to details?

From: "DJW"


Set the settings you want under "Folder Options" and then such things and

the sort and view.



Then check "Apply to Folders". That will set the default of how a folder

appears when opened.










When I open up the folder options control panel and then go to the views tab the
“apply
to all folders” button is grayed out. And if I open a folder then change it to details
view either before or after I have the folder options control panel open it does
nothing
to make it a button not grayed out to be able to hit. I see no place to tell it that
detail view is what I want for all folders.



Don't use the Control Panel applet.

Go to My Computer.

Double-Click on "C:"

Tools -- folder options -- view -- Apply to All Folders
