How set Folder Optoins > VIEW for 'only' My Pictures?

[George]

I'm using a WinXP-pro PC and would like to set the VIEW options for the My
Pictures folder AND subfolders. In "My Pictures", I have subfolders like My
Pictures/2005, My Pictures/2006, My Pictures/2007. There are actually many
more, so making "manual" changes takes a while.

When using Win Explorer to look at files, typical header is:
NAME SIZE TYPE
pic002.jpg 3KB JPEG image
usapic.jpg 3KB JPEG image
workpic9.jpg 3KB JPEG image

But I'd like this header ONLY for My Pictures and subfolders, NOT the whole
PC:
NAME SIZE TYPE DATE PICTURE TAKEN
pic002.jpg 3KB JPEG image 2/15/07 4:34pm
usapic.jpg 3KB JPEG image 1/18/06 3:09pm
workpic9.jpg 3KB JPEG image 12/15/04 10:11am

It's easy to set the VIEW for ENTIRE PC, but I can't find (other than
manually, one-by-one) how to set ONLY a folder and sub-folders to a specific
VIEW.

Would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,
George

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.
