“View” & “Sort By” Folders in Windows 7

Basically this is whats up in he’s own words Most of my folders i have them set so i can “View – List” When i log on the next day all the folders are set to “View – Details”. Why does it keep changing back to view by Details?
As for “Sort By”.. Some i like to “Sort By – Name” while others (mainly my music files so i know which ones i’ve recently added) i choose to “Sort By – Date Created”. When i log on the following day all have reset to “View – Details” & “Sort By – Name” & the “Date Created” option i added has been removed so i then have to go to “Sort By – More..” & re-check the box all the time.
This is so annoying as i have all my single tracks sorted by label. Each time i add a track to that label i have to keep changing the “View” & “Sort By” thing. Can anyone help please???

Hey TV (BC here), change folder to required liking than open folder options in control pa, click view tab, and it should give the option to apply to all folders (not used 7 in a while, so slap my ass if I’m wrong), not sure on changing individual folders though.

Sarcastic sod, 2 more letters for you…. F & O, just kidding,,,,,,,,I get what you are trying to achieve now, no idea unless any of that media software actually works, about 12 months ago I had a jumbled up scenario and got smiling off and deleted everything, apart from the odd game for the kids I haven’t really downloaded since.

I think and Co. got things sorted out pretty well, helped me anyhow!
Windows certainly doesn’t make things as easy as it could.
Still a bit tricky to get what you want
Sorry, looks like your problem a bit different..
Just thinking here (not easy), maybe if you use a cleaner or reg cleaner (Even ccleaner) that does Windows Explorer
it might be setting your views back to default?
I reckon it used to happen to me, but it been OK lately..
Now here is something that might really help…
