@Brink sorry but you have one thing wrong.. you can't select the *drive* and choose customize, its not there.
the view that applies for "drive" type items is hidden in the registry somewhere.
The 5 main views don't account for all of them .. as several have mentioned about plugging in a phone .. "media" type devices over USB, etc..
Its one of "those things" that microsoft chose to let us have a peak at .. but not fully control. Personally I'm still looking for the "full control" option because I want *ALL* folders to start one specific way .. the Details view.
I would happily accept having *every* folder set to details.. so long as the "Remember folder view" option is enabled (*and that's if the "remember folder view" selection is still available for you in your version of windows .. its not there in windows 10 update.. not the Creators one.. the release just previous).
I would use this option to set EVERY folder to details.. then would go into "This PC" and set that view to grouped icons .. and back in the day, these views also modified how we would see the Control Panel .. so yes. I'd choose a details view.. and then manually set Control Panel back to icons ... and have it save *THAT* folders' view for just itself..
