nevada_larry Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 All my folders in the "view" are tiles. Is there a way to set all folders default to details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate it when I have to manually change the folder view from tiles to details. Is there a way to have them to default to details view?

Watchful Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Open a folder that's set on details then go to Tools/Folder Options/View and apply to all folders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 With 2 TB :0 - If you have that many folders Windows may not remember all the folder settings. After a while, it may switch back to the default (of large icons - tiles). Originally, by default, Windows was designed to remember 400 different folder settings (200 local folders and 200 network folders, for a total of 400 folders). It will start to re-use these stored settings on a 'Most Recently Used' basis, once the folder limit has been exceeded. This was fixed in Service Pack 2 for Windows XP, which sets the value for BagMRU Size to 5000. However if you want to increase the number of folder settings Windows remembers beyond 5,000 :- Start the Registry Editor Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Shell \ 1 Find DWORD Value - BagMRU Size 2 Double-click the BagMRU Size value, and set the Base to Decimal 3 Now in the Value data field enter the number of folders for which Windows should remember the settings (I'd suggest 10,000 or more) Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ ShellNoRoam \ Repeat steps 1-3 Close the registry editor Restart Windows.
