Windows Explorer > View > Choose Details

[Lee Lord]

Every time I access Vista's Windows Explorer the choices in what to view are
always the same: Name, Size, Date, Tags, Date taken OR Date Modified. Even
though I change the choices I prefer through View > Choose Details and
deselect Date taken and Tags, then go into Tools > Folder Options and select
View "Apply to Folders", once I access Windows Explorer again after rebooting
it's back to the original Name, Size, Date, Tags, and Date taken or Modified.
Is there something I'm missing where I can only have what I want which is
always Name, Size, and Date each time I return? Thanks so much.

Hi Lee Lord,

Do all of method two in this tutorial. It will show you how to get
Vista to remember your settings.

It takes 2 0r 3 mouse clicks in XP while takes a long winded tutorial
to accomplish the same thing in vista. And people call this progress?
Am I missing something here?

Method one in this tutorial is the normal way to reset the folder
views. If your lucky, then that will be all you need to do (A few
clicks). Method two is for when Vista will not remember your view
settings, even after you reset them from method one.

It does seem like Vista has a problem remembering the folder views at
first. Once one does method two, they should not have a problem with it
again.
