Set Default for Folders

[Sandy N.]

Is it possible to set a default setting for the display
(for example, icons) of all folders at once with having
to make changes to the desired display and then click
on "Remember Each Folder's View Settings.

Hi Sandy,

Windows Explorer/View/[Select Accordingly]. Then Tools/Folder
Options/View/Apply to All Folders.

Tip:

Windows remembers 400 folder settings. When that number is reached some
settings aren't retained any longer. You can change this to 8000 by adding
this edit to the registry.

Run this edit, then reset your preferred folder options:

Increase Folder View Options Limit: (Line 2)

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.

Hi Kelly

I have used your reg file, but could you answer a
question about this reg file please?

I think that these two lines are needed in XP Pro only:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi
on\Group Policy
Objects\LocalUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio
n\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi
on\Group Policy
Objects\LocalUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio
n\Policies\Explorer]
"**del.NoSaveSettings"=" "

As I have XP Home ed can I safely remove these two lines
from your reg file?

Thanks

David

Hi David,

You must have an old copy. That isn't included in the regedit on line 2.
And yes, you can remove the lines.
