How do I get Xp (and Vista please) to remember when I setup a fold
in [Windows XP]

From: Brian V on 18 Apr 2010 14:41 Hi. When I open folder and organize it - Right-click the folder then auto arrange icons and arrange by name: How do I make that the default for all of Windows XP or Vista (64-bit)? Before, the XP OS did it for all the folders unless specified. Now I have to do it for EVERY SINGLE folder I open. This is annoying. Thank you.

In Windows7 and, I guess, Vista, "Folders Option" is located in the Control Panel. HTH

Yes, it's also true on all Three you can access it via the CP as well. I only mention to use the folder you're in since you have to open one anyway to set it up the way you want, and so at that point you just need to click the top tab of Tools> Folder Options> View> ...click 'Apply To All Folders' |
