Hi! :-)

Suppose I want to apply view/list and or view/arrainge icons by/name to all
subfolders. How do I do that?

Set up one folder the way you want it and then click on the Tools button and
choose Folder options. Then choose the View tab and click on the button
"Apply to all folders" this will apply the changes you made in the folder to
all the folders and files on the computer.

Hope this helps.

Works for some, not for all. Doesn't work for me and I've been
running XP since Day One.

Here's the canned description of my script with a link:

---
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.
