Brink,
I have gone through most of the stuff on file folders, tutorials and such. I down loaded the vista "reset_folder_view" [i'm using W7] and ran it. It fixed the "forgetfullness" part of when I would change column headings and the changes would not stick [ i'm trying to set up my music stuff with just the columns i want], but it only works just for the folder I changed it in, not the subfolders.

[ back to the tutorial] after rebooting your told to go into the control pannel/folder options/ views and check the "remember folder settings" selection. There isn't one, so what' that about?

As mentioned above the "apply to all subfolders" does not work. I'll select a "parent" folder in windows explore like
J:/Multi-Media/Audio/MyMusic/ that has about 100 subfolders full of albums, some 2 or 3 deep, I'll adjust the columns to what I want, check the apply to all subfolders box but none of the subfolders column heading get changed.

I need to change the way the defalut column heading "looks" when I open folders that are using the "music" templet format.

Help OBWAN

Thank you!!

Brink,
OK! I got it to work for all my hundreds of music folders. That's the good news. But like you pointed out in one of the links, all my folders are set up as music folders now. I guess I just can't do what I want to do.

What is the check box for that says "apply to all subfolders"? Why doesn't it do what is says it will do and apply the current folders looks to all it's subfolders? I only wanted one particular parent folder and it's subfolders to have the music format not every folder in Windows Explore. [ am I daft, why would anyone want there whole drive with one default format [ie general, data, picture, music etc?, that, would be the definition of stupid].

I guess I'll go back and play around with the general and data types. Maybe I shouldn't do this kind of stuff at 1 am in the morning

I hope there is some thing I am still not getting. You don't need to reply, I'll get back to you. Thanks for all you do!
