    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

    Hello Bandit, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    This can help show you how to set a default folder view to be used in all folders in Windows 7.
