Windows Explorer defaults

Post #34,215 by tablizer 4/2/02 6:39:28 PM Reply	Windows Explorer defaults Windows Explore defaults to the "Large Icon" view for some odd reason. I would prefer the default be "Detail" view. It seems to remember if you change it for a given folder for while, but seems to forget every 3 months or so. Thus, it would be easier to change the global default, if possible. Does anybody by chance know how to set the global default? (I know, "Windows sucks use Linux", but it is where the money is unless you like/can move from town to town.)

When I set a folder to show me details, it stays, as far as I've seen.

It deletes out six annoying files and makes a registry change so that the annoying feature is taken out of XP and XP itself is fixed. :) *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*

Only, you gotta do it separately in an Explorer view (with directory tree), and in a... uh, "Folder" view (what you get when you Open in stead of Explore a folder; without directory tree); it seems to save separate settings for each "kind of view". If that's what you want, that is, maybe you meant only one or the other. FWIW, HTH, etc... Christian R. Conrad Of course, who am I to point fingers?

The proper design approach of course would be to have independently-controlled features in the viewer, not subtypes. ________________ oop.ismad.com
