RE: Folder view trouble

David,
Open one of your desktop folders.
Right-click on its contents and choose "Customize this folder" (or whatever
it is translated from Spanish into English).
Are the options offered to you enough?

David,
That's strange.
I have just created a folder on my desktop and customized it to, let's say,
"music".
That setting does not apply to any of the other folders I have.
Well, time to hit the sack down here (Cabernet Sauvignon taking its toll!).
