Guest Ray K Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 After I set one directory to the Details view, I go to Tools/Folder Options/View and click on the Like Current Folder. Problem is that it doesn't force Details as the default view for all folders the next time I open Explorer. The directories I manually set to Details remember that view, but the others remain in the default Large Icons view. Suggestions? Thanks, Ray
Guest Roger Fink Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Re: How to make Explorer show files in Details view If checked, try unchecking "Remember each folders view settings".

Guest Ray K Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Re: How to make Explorer show files in Details view W2k doesn't have a box to uncheck. So I clicked on Reset All Folders (to the factory defaults); all folders then appeared as Large Icons. I set one to Details and clicked on Like Current Folder. At first, that seemed to set all the folders to Details as the default. But when I went to some folders that I don't use often, they still appear as Large Icons. So the ones that appeared in Details, where in fact those that I had manually set some time ago. So I'm back where I started.
