I am trying to make all subfolders in My Pictures the same as the main
folder.
I know Xp used to have that option, but it seems to be missing now.
MVP Keith had a script to do the job, according to the conversation below.
However, the link requires some sort of permission to open.
Is there a current script available to everybody for this function?
Thanks,
Dick
PS: (I can't imagine why Microsoft removed this function from Xp)

I've written a script that will apply all the view customizations you can
set to all of a folder's
subfolders. Right-click the link below & save to your computer. The zip file
contains a readme
file & the script itself.

You can select a folder & configure its view settings, then those are set to
be inherited by all
subfolders (you have the option of saving or wiping out current saved views)
.. You can set a
default for My Pics, another for My Music, and then a more generic default
for My Computer. The
inheritance settings are separate from the folder view itself -- for
example, you can set a
non-grouped view to be the default inheritance for My Computer, then return
My Computer to its
standard 'group by type' layout after running the script without affecting
the default view you have
set.
