Folder Columns - Minor Annoyance

[Si]

Is there a way to make Vista remember your column preference for individual
folders? When I open my music folder, all I want to see is the name column
and the artist column. I un-checked all the others but the following day it
reverts back to the default setting.

Cheers.

Not sure if this will help. Vista supposedly will remember the settings you
make, but the rub is only for an "unknown" amount of time depending
on how long until you open the folder again. I've read the if you go to
Organize, Folder Options, View...and uncheck the "Remember each folders view
settings"
your changes will stick. I know..it sounds weird. So go to your folder, set
the columns the way you want, the do the Organize thing.

Hi,
Vista is giving you the columns it thinks you should have based on the type
of files it has detected in that folder.

To set columns for a folder, right-click in the folder >Customize this
folder> What kind of folder do you want? Use this folder as a template>
select "All Items." Vista should stop changing columns for that folder.

Hope this helps,
Don
