How to make folders and sub-folders unique for each folder (likein Win7)
Hi, I need to know if there's a program in Win 8 64bit to change the
folder view for each sub folder, for instance I like my 'my music' to always be in a list, then I click on a band name and I want all folders to be large then click an album folder then have all the mp3s to be in detailed view, this has been a huge annoyance that I'm trying to fix HELP! I saw this below text on a forum but I'm not giving up "Default behavior. It is not possible to set Windows Explorer to remember individual folder view settings for folders included in libraries. All libraries and its included folders share the same view." Thanks in advance |

I found an answer (or at least the best one that I could find so far) from Windows Forum: "NPratt replied on February 2, 2013 I found this yesterday in the WIN8 Help Under the Change Folder Options - To apply a view to other folders: "Changing the view of folders that you access through libraries works a little differently. If you open a folder under Libraries in the navigation pane in File Explorer, and then change the view, that view is applied to all the other folders that you access through the library as well. You can also change the kind of file for which the library is optimized. Select the library in the navigation pane, tap or click the Library Tools tab, and pick a kind of file under Optimize library for." After seeing this I realized I had been using the file explorer though Windows Key - E command and drilling down through the main C directories to my files. When using the Windows Key - E command file explorer opens showing the Computer directory. However when I started executing file explorer from the start menu it open up in the Libraries. This is when my problem started. So having found the information above I now know why I am having the problem. With this I am experimenting with different ways to get to my folders without having to do a lot of drilling. Thanks to everyone for feedback. NP" |
