Windows Explorer and columns...

Hi...

Can't find a NG committed to Windows Explorer i particular, so if this is
the wrong MG, please redirect me....

How do I change the columns in Windows Explorer to a set of columns of my
own choice permanently?

Hi,

Set it the way you want. Organize/Layout, enable the menu bar. Then
View/Choose Details. Once set, click Tools/Folder Options/View tab, "apply
to folders".

Then, how do you stop it reverting to whatever Vista thinks is
best, on a pretty random basis?

Thank you Rick R. :-)
I've tried that method before, but it didn't stick.
