Folder settings and customize folder tweak help needed.

Robwood · 05-05-2008, 11:59 AM

ISSUE 1:
I open a folder and modify it how I like it (maximized or not, size and shape of the window, folder setting, the whole 9 yards). Everything works fine until for no good reason, Vista sets the folder configurations I've set up back to default. GRRRRRRR!

There's no need to tell me to go to Tools-->Folder Options-->View-->Remember each folder's view settings| since that's selected by default anyway and I'm not dumb enough to de-select it.

ISSUE 2:
When you customize a folder and apply the template to all subfolders, how do you get the view settings added to the template? It did that with XP and there's no excuse why it can't be done with Vista.

For example, let's say I had a folder named Storage. Inside Storage are two additional folders called, oh, Archive1 and Archive2. If I were to change the folder view in Storage to Large Icons and select "Documents" as the folder type and selected "apply the template to all subfolders," then when I open up Archive1 and Archive2, yes they'll be set to "Documents," but their folder views will be Details instead of Large Icons, and that's unacceptable.

I'm not to sure but i'll take a guess and say it's because RAM expires every 30 minutes or so after you turn off your computer.

I don't turn my computer off, though. I restart it from time to time, but these problems aren't associated with it in any way.
