• How to change the default view in Windows File Explorer

  I have a lot of files in some of my files to storage media.

  Whenever I use the folder of Windows Explorer to browse the files, I need to select View - Details of the list of people rather than the large icons that are displayed. I have to then add or remove columns based on the information I want to see associated with these files, such as name, Date, size, length etc...
  I noticed that Windows behaves differently when opening a folder with the media compared to a folder with the application files. Directory of media file opens with a set predetermined column related to the media and the application folder opens with a different set of columns.
  As defined by Windows, I think there is an option to choose the columns, I want to display and in what type of look a format.
  When I make the changes once, they remain the same until I restart, and then everything goes back to Windows default.
  How can I define the way Windows Explorer for files and folders displays the directory.
  If I can't change it, I might have to consider a 3rd party app.

• Windows 7 doesn't remember the folder views.

  original title: Windows 7 doesn't remember the folder views. Microsoft is pathetic.

  Once more, I find it quite pathetic that Microsoft Windows 7 as Vista, such as Windows XP and all other operating systems M$ has developed can not EVEN remember the layout for the records.

  What is THE POINT of having more customization options in solution for users to set, Explorer if your code Explorer STUPID don't even BOTHER to remember. Users bother to customize their desktops and file only to discover that their work is broken as soon as the PC restarts or in Windows 7 Decides to forget or to crush stuff in the registry.

  It is also pathetic that M$ has removed most of the "individual" customization of Windows XP folder now opt for a "point of view fits all approach!". (Ie the deletion of the folder option "View tab / remember this layout of records"). I can't decide if a file opening should have the "Navigation bar" to the left. Now, if a folder has the navigation bar, hey look, ALL MY FILES open with the navigation bar now! Yay! NOT.

  Even with this, HE has YET to forget every customization that you made to your files!

  Things going on in my head when I'm on Windows 7:

  Mmmm. I'd like my account to have this icon or bitmap image please. There we go, very nice. Reset. Mmmm. Why is he returned to show all the file type icons in this new folder. Oh God, worst yet! NOW ALL MY FILES ARE RETURNED TO THE DETAILS VIEW. B * llocks, I've spent hours a lot, a lot, a lot (over time) establishing this batch! Gee thanks to shake me more M$. You've obviously spent a lot of money and many hours asking your BETA users which would p * ss them off the most when you use Windows Explorer. Voice of tester beta geek: "uh Yes, I think I was very p * ssed if all of a sudden he returned for more details on all my folders in Explorer. Microsoft: "OK, we're going to take care to include that then...". "Everything what is p * ss you off." Geek: "Yes, while your at it, if the navigation bar appears on EVERY issue and doesn't even have a shortcut key, so I had to reach for my mouse and go to a menu rather than quickly display and hiding cases of need, which would probably be p * ss me off really bad." Microsoft: ' hey this is a great idea!

  Folder view settings should be remembered INDIVIDUALLY for the love of God, on a folder by folder basis.

  I think that the removal of this option, and becomes the fact that Microsoft have removed code rather that actually fixing the code first place is a sign of how pathetic software from Microsoft.

  I hope Apple start to develop their PC rather than just Apple Mac operating system sometime in the future.

  It will ultimately be the nail in the coffin for Micro$ and personally, I'll be happy to see the back of them.

  I'm a PC and I am upset that Microsoft Windows Explorer doesn't bother to remember how I presented my files.
  
  If you want to know what I'm talking about m $ look the Apple Mac operating system and copy what they do (you know, the usual).
  At least they seem to know what I'm talking about.

  If you think I'm the only one who is upset at this by the way: http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&source=hp&q=windows+7+remember+folder+settings&btnG=Google+Search&meta=&aq=0&oq=Windows+7+remember+folder&fp=a60718907b4ba39b

  21.5 million users would disagree with you.

  DESIRED EFFECT

  To have a folder and its subfolders all use the same view model AND having the view model to reflect the disposal of one of the folders.

  WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

  First, you must realize that Win7 treats these two very different applications:

  1. make subfolders use the same model from view as the parent folder.

  2 configure how a view model is laid out.

  My confusion is I thought that changing the layout of the folder parent by clicking on 'Apply to subfolders' it applies to the layout of the parent folder, but all it's means "all look to the model of display as well as the parent folder.

  Understand that when you say "optimize this folder for: * music *" IT IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE THE LAYOUT of the folder! Only it it's a music folder (or general or images or other) and ALL TIME NOW ON the time the * music model is changed (via right click on any * music folder > organize menu > folder and search options > view tab > apply to records) THEN the layout PAGE ONLY will be updated.

  So unfortunately, Xaero_Payne solution by itself will result in the 'problem' that everyone here seems to have. You do BOTH steps to make it work. (I know it's easy to chatting about M$, but instead of pi$ $ in the wind at home, we can as well get into their heads and understand how to use what we have).

  STEP BY STEP

  You can do these two processes in any order, but I want to do such as this, because I can then more easily see changes. For the example below, I'll do their music files and I'll apply the Details view template.

  R process: make subfolders using same view model

  Right-click on the Parent folder that contains all of the subfolders > properties > Customize tab > check also apply... subfolders > select * music * (for this example) > apply then OK

  Process 1: Customize and apply the provision of fashion model music

  Find or create a folder you want to use the view model.

  Select them * details * view (or list, large icons, etc.) and then customize the layout as you wish. Add new desired columns and rearrange them as you like.

  Organize the menu > folder options and research > display tab > apply to records. THIS MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT OF THIS PROCESS because otherwise he doesn't know you want ALL the * music * files to be like this.

• How can I change the folder where the application Photo looking for pictures?

  I have a new laptop and when I add pictures in the pictures folder in my library they do not appear in the Photos app. All it says "there no file or folder in this point of view." I'll try to find a way to change the folder "Photos" in the search, but I don't see anything. The only thing I can think is that this is my second camera Windows 8 (from a Surface Pro 3) and when I started this diet I said to copy my old setting and he can always try to search for images in the directory of the other system. I noticed that my music was the same, but they give you the option to change the folder from the outset.

• Windows 7 does not refresh the folder views

  I have the following problem:
  Windows 7 does not automatically refresh the folder view (until I have updated manually by pressing F5) after the following file operations:
  Create/delete/rename/move files or folders

  Final version of Windows 7 Professional, international English version. No upgrade, clean installation.

  It seems to me that it is a delay in my case: if I wait about 30 seconds, the updating is done automatically. There are shared folders on volume.

  I made the following points:
  -removed IconCache - did not help
  -Reset - folder views did not help
  -off to the discovery network and file sharing - did not help
  -Made a clean boot - did not help
  -a ran sfc - not found any violation
  -new user created account - did not help
  -updated the BIOS with the latest version - did not help
  -updated the VGA driver to the latest version - did not help
  -disabled the indexing of files - did not help
  -run Windows 7 Mode safe mode (without network): it seems that the problem does not occur

  I could be satisfied with Windows 7, but this question is terribly boring cause I work with a large number of files per day.

  Could someone help me?

  I had the same problem recently.  Here's what I discovered, FWIW:

  • After reading all of the above, it seems that, at the base, this is related to the shell of the user of Windows interface and how he tries to 'reach out' to other systems.  Fixes disable the Windows Client, disabling home groups, disable sharing of files, etc.
  • I discovered that I have the problem that in some folders.  For example, if I try to create a folder in the my DOCUMENTS folder, the problem occurs, but if I create the folder in a random folder on drive C: (e.g.. C:\MyTest), no problem!
  • I discovered that the folder appears finally - it takes 30 seconds. By pressing F5, I was "rush" of the process.  It also sounds like a kind of thing network client timeout.

  I wanted to start with the easiest, lowest impact.  It worked:

  • I opened the COMPUTER and removed a "network connection" that pointed to a server that is not currently available.

  That solved the problem completely.

• I need to change the folder where download windows updates, I know there must be a way to do this.

  Could someone help me on this issue.

  I need to change the folder where download windows updates, I know there must be a way to do this.

  Updates Windows installation location cannot be changed. Windows updates tend to fix and replace the old files of the system, so it would normally replace a file in the System32 folder.

  Thanks in advance

  Line

  If the program does not open the last folder you visited you most likely have the option enabled to automatically load bridge at startup.  Disable this option in PS or close bridge before shutting down the computer.

  Post edited by: curt y

  If you always want it to start on a specific folder, you can leave it on autoload, go to the folder that you want to start, then exit bridge.  It should load this each time in the future.  Many of us discourage the auto load option because it can lead to other problems as well.
