Customizing Folders

[microsvc]

I have been customizing the views of my folders that its become an annoyance.
First, I change a folder view/template to "all items" because I have no
interest in the other ones, especially music folders template. At anytime I
can go back to that folder and its back to the music template, so I fix it
over and over.

Is there a way I can make ALL folders on my system to "all items" and not
even have the other annoying templates there? Even if I could make my choice
STICK forever would be fine.

Thanks! ~bOb

The folders act that way because they are designated as 'shell' folders. You
can remove that designation by removing the shell entries from the registry.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
