Can't Set Folder Views

[sparker781]

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate. I am having issues setting views, for instance....If I want things in a list, and choose that it stays however when I go into folder options in control panel the apply to all folders is greyed out.

Got any ideas?

Hello Stu,

You would need to open Folder Options from within the same folder you want to apply instead.

i do that. i change it to list view and then try and set it in tools\folder options however the option to apply to all folders is still greyed out.

Any other ideas?

Are you doing it from a source folder and not from within a library?

Folder

I am doing it from within the folder. But it doesn't work when I go into folder options in control panel.

Yeah, "Apply to Folders" will only not be grayed out if you open Folder Options from the menu bar in that open folder instead of from the Control Panel.

Double check to see if you are opening Folder Options using the method in Option 2 or 3 in the tutorial below.

Go ahead and post some screenshots showing what you see while doing it to see if something may standout.
