Size all columns to fit

Hello Lee,

This can help show you how to use the "Apply to Folders" option.

Folder View - Apply to Folders

However, this will not help with "Size all columns to fit" since how it sizes them is specific to the currently opened folder in Windows Explorer. Using "Apply to Folders" will apply the same column sizes set in that folder to all folders with the same folder template. Of course, other folders may need wider or narrower column sizes than the currently opened folder. You pretty much have to set them per folder to have it the right size for them.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Are you in Computer instead of a drive or folder? I notice if I'm in Computer that button is grayed even if I make changes to settings.

Are you in a library when you do this?

If so, then that's why.

Only when Folder Options is opened from within a actual folder window will "Apply to Folders" not be grayed out.

Are you opening Folder Options from within the exact same folder window that you want to have applied to the other folders, and not through the Control Panel or from any other folder?
