Stop Windows Retarded from changing folder columns?

Is there a way to stop Windows 7 from changing folder columns when
you happen to copy or move certain files into a folder?

That IMO is one of the most annoying, frustrating, idiotic things
Windows has ever done.

Thanks.

Not seeing this. I copied and moved two different files from and into
one folder into and from another folder and the columns for both source
and destination folders remained the same.

Why don't you try another file manager? FreeCommander for example:

I've been using the "old Version" (FreeCommander 2009.02b) for years
now.

I like Total Commander, myself. :-)

But it's no big deal.

Actually, that annoyance started with Vista.

A quick search for "customize windows folder templates" should help you
straighten it out.

"To sort by a column, click once on that column. To reverse the
sort-order, click that same column again"

Wrong audience. That suggests it's going to take a massive amount
of reading to find anything semi-technical.

It's just a mess. The only way something like that could work for
most of us is if we were allowed to save templates and then apply
one of those templates to a particular folder on demand (not
programmatically).

Otherwise you have questions no Microsoft programmer can answer
When to apply the template? Do you apply the template based on a
folder name? Based on folder contents? What if I move files of a
certain type into an empty folder, do you apply a template?

If Microsoft wants to start a new installation by displaying
various folders differently, that's okay, but applying templates
programmatically just doesn't work.

Instead of working with Windows Explorer you could an alternative file
manager. FreeCommander is such a file manager and Total Commander is
also one. I prefer FreeCommander, mainly because it's free(ware). Total
Commander is shareware (payware); you can try it for 30 days and then
you have to pay for it.

I tried Total Commander way way back and it was a good product at the
time. I'm sure it's still a decent piece of software, but again, I
prefer freeware. Only things I paid for on my computer are W7 HP x64 SP1
OEM, Forté Agent and Nero Essentials 7 OEM. A long time ago I paid for
Courier Mail(successor of Calypso Mail) as well, but when that project
was deserted I switched to Mozilla Thunderbird.

I have a different philosophy. I don't want or expect Explorer to
display custom columns by opening the files in each folder. That just
slows down my file mangement work.

When I set up a new machine, I set ALL the folder templates to display
the same standard standard columns. Effectively, that "turns off" this
unwanted feature. I can get more details with right-click if I want
them, or add a special column for one folder temporarily if I really
need it.
