Get the Look You Like
I prefer Windows Explorer's Details view. But in some folders, such as Control Panel, I want to see files represented as icons. How do I set the display view for a particular folder?
Joseph Allison, Owasso, Oklahoma
Begin by giving a folder the look you want the majority of your folders to have, and then select Tools, Folder Options, View, Like Current Folder (Apply to All Folders in Windows XP). Click Yes when prompted.
Scroll down to the option 'Remember each folder's view settings', make sure it's checked, and click OK. Now your folders will open with the view you've chosen. If you alter the view of a folder later, you'll see the changed view when you reopen it.
