Missing Tiles Option

royw · 28 Mar 2018

I have a folder named My CD's, which has over 2600 sub folders. I want to set the View globally for all the subfolders to Tiles, but there is no option to do so in the View tab. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this problem.

Your CD's folder is probably formatted as Music folder. Right click on it, select properties, then customize, select general and apply to subfolders.

There is tutorial for it here.

Andre Ten, thanks but I still have no option to view Tiles for the subfolders. Do you have any other ideas?

Right clicking an empty spot in the parent folder should give you 'Tiles'...

Once set for certain file types, you have to apply it for all folders…
