    FTP Folder View Options


    Hello all, this is my first post in this forum, and I would like to thank you all for the useful articles and tutorials I've found on this website!

    I regularly connect to several FTP sites for work every day, and while Filezilla is useful, more often than not I find myself using the integrated ftp folder navigation in Explorer. However, in Windows 7 the default folder view for ftp folders is Tiles view, which is not very practical in my case. I set it to Details view, but when I go to Folder Options->View and try to "Apply to Folders", the button is greyed out! So basically I have to choose "Details view" for every folder I navigate to.

    Does anyone know how I can apply "Details view" to all FTP and Internet folders in Windows 7? Is there a registry key I can modify for this?

    Thanks!!!

    Hello domdada,

    Welcome to 7 Forums.

    Don't know of any way to make the settings stick. Best I can do is the alt>v>d keyboard shortcut to give details for a folder. Might be easier than mouse clicks. Sorry.

    Hm... what registry keys are modified when selecting the details view? Maybe there's a default one that's applied every time a new ftp folder is visited, and changing that would have the desired effect...

Hi, I guess like most of us, my Desktop by now is pretty crowded and full. Would like to put about 30% or so, of a particular topic, in a separate Folder I would create. No problem, but all the options under VIEW are not exactly what I would like. On the Desktop, of course, you can put...

I'm running Win7 Home Premium and I notice the Tools/Folder Options/View /Apply to folders, doesn't seem to work. It didn't work in Vista either. Is there a fix for this? Thanks.
