Windows 7 - Folder layout view the same for all folders

| | Folder layout view the same for all folders Hi, When I view a folder full of jpgs I select 'large icons' so I can see thumbnails. Then when I move up the tree to the folders they too are in 'large icons'. I change these to 'list' and my jpgs are shown in 'list' style. How can I select a folder to keep the view type I select as I did in XP? |

| | Hello Rally, Are you viewing the jpgs in a library by chance? If so, then that would be why since all included folders in a library share the same folder view. Only if you view the jpgs from say your C:\User\(user-name)\My Pictures folder instead of from say the Pictures library will you be able to have separate folder views per folder. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| | Aha. Yes that is the answer. Brill.  .What a crazy thing for Windows to do though - encouraging you to use libraries (which I like) and then tying your hands when you do it. Does anyone know of a workaround? |

| | There's not one that I know of other than viewing them at their source folder instead.  The thinking was that since a library is a collection of all the included folders in one place, you would want to view them the same way. |
