Hi,

have several music foldesr to which I wouldlike to apply columns for artist
/ title of album / year etc
I know how to achiev that in one explorer view.

But how can I apply that to all subfolders of a folder in one run ?

Have about 20 of them to apply same settings !
But all other folders on the PC are data and should not be concerned ( so
cannot use "apply to all folders" )

TIA for infos please !!

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.
