Folder View in Windows Explorer

How can I set a default folder view in Windows Vista Ultimate x64 to be used
in all directories I browse?

It seems that even if i uncheck Remember Each Folder View Setings and hit
Apply To All Folders button won't do it.

All I want to see is detaied view of Name, Date Modified, Type and Size for
no matter what I have in each folder. All sorted by File Type and no
groupings.

How can I do that?

Hi TMA,

First, you will need to reset Vista's folder view settings so it will
remember your settings again. This tutorial will show you how.

This tutorial will show you how to change the folder template to how to
want it, and how to apply those changes to all of the same folder type
templates. You will need to change the folder type templates to "All
Items" and select "Details" in the View menu for what you are wanting.

Have fun customizing,

This was OK in WindowsXP, it is now fouled up in Vista. Get used to.

Guys, I have tried what you all suggested here and in some four other
forums.
I tweaked the registry and did all that can be done, I did so on my
Vista 32, Vista 64 and Windows 7 x32 systems and I can safely say that
all Vista 32/64 and Windows 7 x32 DO NOT REMEMBER folder settings AT ALL
no matter what you do, so do not waste your time any further.
The shear amount of complaint out there and the massive number of
people trying to rectify this stupid shortsightedness of MS only proves
my point.
The explorer folder settings work in a haphazardly manner in Vista and
Win 7.
It is amazing how ignorant Microsoft was and continue to be, they have
been trying for years now to come up with an operating system that beats
the XP, they do not seem to come close to meeting it!:sarc: Vista was
and will always be a failure, most of the people I know trashed it and
opted to remain on XP. Win7 is supposed to be THE savior op sys, but
from the RC version and seeing how ignorant MS has been in neglecting to
rectify one of the most annoying shortfalls of Vista (the Explorer not
remembering folder settings, of course!) it looks like Win 7 will follow
suit and fail, what a shame!
To me there is no use for a windows system that does not remember where
and how the windows are arranged? When you deal with hundreds of icons
and as much windows and when you get used to arranging different ones in
different sizes, views and sorting orders it becomes impossible to
accept a new operating system that chooses to open windows "wherever it
wants"!
I was bit$#@*g about my stupid MacBook MAC OSX system which also fails
to remember window sizes and views and sort order but I though that was
because Apple had fallen behind MS over ten years ago and will never
catch up!!
What is going on with these two genius companies?? :sarc: Can't they
make anything as simple as remembering where and how we want things set?
Friendly Graphical user Interface my a*$. Now we have Vistas and
Win 7s taking up as much as 13 GBs on our hard disks but failing to do
the simple stuff that XP does faster and cleaner and occupying 300Mbs
only!!!!!!!
Seems I will be using XP until they come up with Windows 17 or later
which maybe, just maybe, we allow us to set our windows in the manner we
want, not as Bill gates and Co want, nor as Steve Jobs and his bunch
care to allow us to!
Sorry for the bit^&&*g but I am really fed up with the ignorance and
shortsightedness of MS and Apple! :cry:
Please excuse me guys and if ever any of you finds a real solution,
please drop me a line.
