Consistent Folder Views ??

Ok. I'm sick and tired of Vista periodically and randomly changin
folder views on me. One day, Windows Explorer will show c:\temp in
detail view. The next, it will decide to apply the "Pictures an
Videos" template and it will be in large icons. I won't have change
anything in the folder. Not a single new, modified or deleted file. I
is by far my greatest annoyance.

I've searched around, and found solutions to "reset" Vista's folde
"training." But this is a temporary fix - Vista always gets screw
after a few days.

Does anyone have any good ideas for fixing Vista's Explorer behavior?


Ideally, Vista would apply the templates in a logical maner (ie. no
using the "Music Icons" template for a folder with no music files, o
the "Pictures and Videos" template for folder full of nothing bu
mp3's).

Baring that soluion, I would be ok with Vista defaulting to my chose
"All Items" view for every folder, and only using a different view if
have told Vista to do so.

Baring that, is there a way to just force Vista to look at every folde
using my chosen "All Items" view?

Thanks,

Hi Itwally

Method Two in this tutorial will show you how to fix the problem fo
now. If the cause of the problem gets triggered again, just reapply th
download to make it easier to do. Currently the exact cause is unknown
only the fix.

I've used the quick-fixes listed there. The fix is short-lived, and i
my opinion, not worth fiddling with. Resetting all the views i
annoying - especially if I have to do it every few days.

I'm looking for a more permanent solution - even if it meant goin
backwards to an Explorer like the one that came with Win2000 would be a
improvement than having Vista fubar the views on a constant, seemingl
random basis.

Thanks

Here's a way to disable automatic type detection:
