Guest brothersamati Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 How can I set folder options in both XP Home and Professional so that all folders display in List view?
Guest ju.c Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Re: changing folder view Open "Folder Options" and under the "View" tab click on "Reset All Folders" then OK. Set List view on a window then open "Folder Options" again and under the "Views" tab click on "Apply to All Folders". ju.c "brothersamati" <brothersamati@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:A0F658AD-A889-4A7C-8B9C-8B89D06247A4@microsoft.com... > How can I set folder options in both XP Home and Professional so that all > folders display in List view?
Guest brothersamati Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Re: changing folder view Afraid that didn't work. When I revisit Control Panel "apply to all folders" is greyed out. I consistently go round in circles.

Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Re: changing folder view In the "template" folder you set up, making sure to arrange ALL configurations as you want them to be (which columns, for instance, should show), then go to Tools menu in that very same folder, then Folder Options, then View tab. You'll find your button all alive and waiting for you. After all, is says, "Like CURRENT folder". When you switch to Control Panel, the "current folder" is no longer the active one. The button is grayed out because you have made no changes to the CP. That's the only "folder" where the button behaves that way, but that's Windows. Consistency isn't exactly their strong suit and never has been. Then again, Control Panel isn't really a folder. -- Gary S.
