I would like most of my folders to open with Details for the view. Then when I want it differently I can change it. It seems like every time I open a new folder or one that has not yet been opened within 10 they all are large icons which provide little information.
Is there a way to set a one time default for all folders?
Also is there a way set a default for a folder tree?
Hello Silvera, :)
Yes, you can set a default folder view for all folders, and will still be able to change the view of any folder you like afterwards. The tutorial below can help show you how to. It's the same in Windows 10.
Folder View - Set a Default for all Folders in Windows 8
I read the Related Tutorials and none seem to address how to reset a tree of folders. I collect photos of automobiles (over 300K and +100 subfolders), It would be nice to rest them back to large or extra large icons simply. From reviewing the bat file I see this was a reg edit routine. I am not familiar with register editing. I have done it with very explicit details only.
O my I think now that I have relooked I think "How to "Apply to Folders" a Custom View to All Folders with Same Template in Windows 8..." is the answer, correct?
Correct. After you do step 1 in the tutorial I posted above and set the folder view how you like, you would then do step 2 apply it to all other folders.
Brink I've trying several different settings but I still can not get the information that I used to get for years. When I hovered over an icon I would get three lines of text one of which gave me the size if the actual picture, and I could edit the title of the file. I have not been able to reestablish that useful tool. Any idea where I would should look to find how to restore the settings for icons?
If I may, when hovering over an image file in the Pictures Folder I get this:Attachment 217687
Right-clicking the image and choosing Properties gives more data. [Disclaimer: I claim nothing about the picture the information comes from, don't own an Olympus camera.]
