Solved Windows Explorer Set Defaults For Columns?

[Anomaly]

In Windows Explorer in Windows 7 I like to use the Details view. I have set of columns/headings that I prefer to use. The problem is I would like to set these columns up and have them be the default for every folder I open. As it is now every folder I open I have to customize the columns again. They stay for that folder but every new folder requires me to customize. Is there a default option so that I can set what I want and have it apply to every folder?

I just installed Windows 7 a few days ago. Prior to this I had XP on the machine that 7 is now on. I did not use Explorer in XP I used a different file manager. I did this mainly for the split view. Now that 7 as the snap feature getting two panes is easy with Explorer so I am going to give it a try for a while. Thanks.

Hello Anomaly, and welcome to Seven Forums.

After you have the folder views and columns set how you like them for that folder, you could do either one of the tutorials below to set it for other folders.

For all folders:

For all folders only with the same folder template as the original

Hope this helps,

It does not work. It does not set the columns order for all folders existing and all new folders created.

Any idea how to do this ?

Thanks a lot.

Hello buythiscomputer,

Did you do all the steps in the tutorial below? If so, which folders are not affected?
