Win2000 Question

Soookaaay.

I just got done installing Win2000 and I’m trying to set up some of the defaults. In explorer (the file manager) I always set the view to details. It works but every time I start a new manager it reverts back to the BIG Icons. I HATE BIG ICONS. But this seems to be the default and I can’t get View Details to stick.

Any Ideas? Microsoft.com has been no help.

Answered my own question. You have to change View properties at the root level (C:) to have it remain persistant

Actually, there is another way, which may be more generically useful:

  1. In Windows Explorer, set your view options the way you like it.
  2. Go to Tools > Folder Options.
  3. Click on the View tab.
  4. Click on the “Like Current Folder” button.
  5. Click on “Remember each folder’s view settings” in the box below it.

Wunderbar, thanks for that Philistine!
