    File Explorer > Folder Type Template?


    For the most part, I do not mind Explorer's autodetecting the folder type (Music, Videos, etc). However, one thing that I miss from Windows 7 is being able to set the "style" for a folder type... where I could choose to display certain columns and have Explorer display those columns for all folders of that category.

    Does anyone know of a way to set the defaults for a folder category?

    Thanks

    Open File Explorer > select one of the folders ( Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Music etc etc) > click View at the top > click Add columns > click Choose columns > scroll to find the item you want........
    Example : I'll choose Date Modified
    Check the box in front of Date Modified > click Move UP button > keep clicking the button until Date Modified is where you want > click OK when done.

    Hello Itwally, :)

    If you like, the tutorial below can help show you how to apply the view of a folder to all folders using the same template.

    Thanks for the replies. What I was looking for was:

    It was in the same location, I just missed it and then assumed it had been (re-)moved.

    Thanks again.
