    How can I set a folder view to all my folders in my PC?


    By default my folders are displaying in LIST format... I want to set all my folders in 'TILES' format permanently.

    I read many tuts on this forum... but couldn't find the tut what I need.

    Hey Danny,

    Thanks for the quick reply and that tut is for setting a default folder template... like General items, pics etc,. I need to set a folder view like 'TILES' to all my folders in the PC.



    EDIT: Did you get my point? :O

    You need to do it for each one. General/Pictures/Videos/Documents/Music to cover all the folder types.Then do the library ones separate.

    This is how I do it.
    First set your user folder to tiles view

    Highlight a Document in the folder documents.(single click) Go to tools/folder options in the toolbar. Click the view tab then apply to folders.Then confirm. That will set all document file type to tiles

    Do this for the folder types I posted above and that should be all of the except the libraries which you can use the folder view for.
    Favourites can be used for general items
