Windows 7: Windows Explorer File layout and defaults.

Windows Explorer Columns Property layout and defaults.

Very simple question that has been bugging me for ages.

When opening any explorer window in Windows 7 I want a set default column layout.

EG : File name/Date Created/Date Modified/Type/Size

The problem I have is using my system for music production I have a large library of WAV files that I sort through, organise and label. The issue I have is any explorer window will deafults to my EG above, however, as soon as a folder is opened with WAV's or MP3's the default columns change to

Name/#/Title/Contributing Artist/Album/Type

I understand why this is so but I don't have hoards of MP3s and dont need this default.

Where can I change the settings in Windows 7 so regardless of what folder I open and regardless the content the columns I select are only displayed everytime

File name/Date Created/Date Modified/Type/Size



Many thanks
