Apply A Folder View To All Folders In Vista

Have you ever noticed that when you change the view for a folder, that specific view is not applied to any other folders that you open? For example, if you open a folder and switch to the Small Icons view, then open a subfolder, the same view is not applied.

If you prefer a specific view, You can have it applied to all of your folders. This means when you switch views, it will be applied regardless of which folder you open. You can accomplish this through the Folder Options dialog box.

1. Open Windows Explorer
2. From the Tool menu, click Folder Options. If the Tools menu is not visible, press the Alt key.
3. Select the View tab.
4. At the top of the dialog box, click Apply to all folders.
5. Click OK.
