Roy Lambert NLH Associates Team Elevate | Does anyone know a way to set Vista to a single view type (eg Details), get it to apply this to all folders AND STICK TO IT?
Philosophically can anyone suggest why MS has such trouble with this? Roy Lambert |

It should work like it does in XP (I have to translate the German captions, maybe it's not correct): Menu Folderoptions | tab "View" | Folder View and in the same window deselect "Save View for each folder". On my machine that works. Regards Uli |

Sean | Easily the most annoying bug in Vista. I'd love to know the workaround
to this one too. Roy Lambert wrote: > Does anyone know a way to set Vista to a single view type (eg Details), get it to apply this to all folders AND STICK TO IT? > > Philosophically can anyone suggest why MS has such trouble with this? > > > Roy Lambert |

Sean | On Vista Business, the settings can be set globally but they do not
"Stick" as Roy said. Sometimes you open a folder you have been in dozens of times and Vista has helpfully changed its view to be for large icons or some other annoying layout. To make matters worse, just flipping back to details doesn't always work because Vista also sometimes changes the information given in the detail view to things that might apply to photos, for example.

Windows Explorer is my most disliked feature of Windows Vista. I liked the explorer in XP much better, although it could only remember settings for the last few folders. To survive in Vista, I actually purchased a 3rd-party utility called, XYplorer (http://xyplorer.com). It's inexpensive, solves the problem perfectly, and has all the features I wished for, even in XP. -- David Cornelius CorneliusConcepts.com |

It looks very impressive, I've downloaded the evaluation version, had a quick shufty and the main thing I can't find is a shortcut to load it and I do Explorer (ir windows-e). Roy Lambert |
