Windows 7: Folder columns change based on content

Folder columns change based on content

Hello
I am running win 7 and and I've noticed that the folder columns change based on the content of the folders. For example, when I'm looking at a folder with documents in it, I have the following columns:
Name
Date Modified
Type
Size



When I go into a folder with mp3s:
Name
Track number
Title
Contributing artists
Album

For pictures:
Name
size
type
date
date modified

I'd like to have all folders have the same columns no matter what files are in it. I've tried using Tools->folder options->view-> apply to folders button, but it does not fix the issue. Any way to change it for all folders?
Thanks
