Set Vista default folder view.

[jasonb]

The problem is that applying a folder view to all folders no longer does this. Instead, it only applies it to all folders of the same type as the one being viewed. This can be corrected.

First, delete all current folder views by removing the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags

Then, save the following as a .reg file and import:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell]
"FolderType"="NotSpecified"

Once done, customize a folder the way you want, click Organize > Folder and Search Options > View > Apply To All Folders.
