Set your windows so they all have the same view

Like to see lists of your files in a certain way—as large icons, for example, or with detailed information? You can set your view options (Details, Thumbnails, List, and more) the way you want them for all your folders at once.

Here's how:

1. On the Tools menu in Windows Explorer, click Folder Options.
2. Click the View tab.
3. Set the view for this folder the way you want it to be for all folders.
4. Click Like Current Folder, click Yes to confirm, and click OK.
