Is it possible to copy the fields set under details view for one folder to
multiple folders but not all folders? I know this can be achieved by
individually going to those folders and adding them. I wasn't sure if there
were another easier way possible through scripting or by some other means.

I've written a script that will apply all the view customizations you can
set to all of a folder's
subfolders. Right-click the link below & save to your computer. The zip
file contains a readme
file & the script itself.

You can select a folder & configure its view settings, then those are set to
be inherited by all
subfolders (you have the option of saving or wiping out current saved views)
.. You can set a
default for My Pics, another for My Music, and then a more generic default
for My Computer. The
inheritance settings are separate from the folder view itself -- for
example, you can set a
non-grouped view to be the default inheritance for My Computer, then return
My Computer to its
standard 'group by type' layout after running the script without affecting
the default view you have
set.

LOL, Thanks Keith. I was searching the forums yesterday and found your
script on another posting. I downloaded it but didn't try it out yet. I was
hoping to hear from you as I thought your work would be a solution! Thanks
for the help =)
