Thanks. I figured this out after playing with it after I posted. It is so
different from XP. Now I WISH that it kept the settings for each folder like
XP did. I have an issue in that the folder keeps changing its "Type" all the
time and I have to keep putting it back. It is getting annoying. Also the
"apply to all subfolders" only works about 1/2 the time too. Oh well - Vista
bugs.
Is there a way to create your own customization and apply it to the list.
Eg. for Documents, I want to add the "ratings" for EVERY folder that I list
as documents. It seems that I have to do it manually for each one. Too bad I
can't modify what the "Documents" template shows.
Cheers,
Lara
