Making All Folders Behave the Same Way

TIP OF THE DAY

Making All Folders Behave the Same Way

Windows allows you to view the contents of a folder several 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. 

1. Click on "Tools" and choose Folder Options. The Folder Options window appears, ready for you to change the looks of your folders.
2. 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.
