Making All Folders Behave the Same Way

TIP OF THE DAY
Making All Folders Behave the Same Way
Large Icons - Large Icons representing each file in the folder.
Small Icons - Small Icons representing each file in the folder.
List - A list of only the name of each file in the folder.
Details - A list of the name, date, size and type of each file in the folder.
Thumbnails - A small view of each file in the folder. Especially useful to see all the pictures in a folder.
There is a quick way to make all folders open using the view type you wish. Open windows explorer and make sure you are in the c: drives main folder.
- Click on "Tools" and choose Folder Options. The Folder Options window appears, ready for you to change the looks of your folders.
- Click on the View tab, and then click on the Like Current Folder button. It's a big and clunky button; you can't miss it. Click on the Yes button that appears and you are done.
