    Custom folder layout


    Hello! I am looking for a way to have one folder have a custom "Layout" that hides the details pane and the navigation pane. I like having both of those panes normally in every other Windows explorer window, but I have a Games folder quicklaunched that has only game shortcuts in it that I would like to have a nice clean look to.

    Are there any apps or registry tweaks that would allow me to customize just a single folder's "Organize >> Layout" scheme?

    Thank you in advance for any info on this! :)

    For this one folder so far I've found an app that lets you choose a custom background image just for that folder and a way to remove shortcut arrows from shortcut icons. Now all I need is those cumbersome eyesore panes to go away for this one window!

    Welcome to the Seven Forums darktree
    I am sorry to tell you this but it's one way or the other for Windows Explorer you can have both.

    Thank you for the response. I feel welcome. I'm hesitant to mark this as solved as there may be a hack hiding out there or maybe in the future someone will make one!

    Thank you, Bongo :)

Having issues when in a folder. The layout will automatically go back to details even if I change to large/medium icons, list, etc. If I have the folder sorted by date modified it returns to alphabetical. Really annoying, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Recently I've found a few of my regular folders defaulting to detail view after so long.
