folder dialog boxes

Some how I have problems with folder dialog boxes. I can enlarge some, but not others. I find a box that will expand, click the make all folders like that but somehow some folders do not become adjustable?

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Lou

Can you make a screenshot so that we will better understand your issue?

It's possible that what you experience has to do with folder templates. All folders in Windows 7 are assigned to one template or other. When you change properties and click change all folders then you only change properties of all folders of the same template. The template can be changed in folder options -> customize.
