large icons

[Bill Cunningham]

Is there a why that I can globaly set all directories to auto arrange by
name and display in large icons? I get tired of going into every folder and
having to do it manually.

Close ALL windows - leave nothing opened/minimized.

Open Windows Explorer (or "My Computer").
(*note* Windows Explorer is not Internet Explorer)

Make it look like you want all explorer windows to look.

Choose View --> (Whatever view you like best)
(Heck, Choose View --> Status Bar - toggle that too, look at the bottom of
the window - see which one you like best.)

Tools --> Folder Options
General Tab
(Change whatever you want here.. For example: Show Common Tasks in
Folders)

Tools --> Folder Options
View tab
(Change whatever check boxes you want here..)
THEN - Click on 'Apply to all Folders'
Answer to the affirmative for whatever questions..

Close Windows Explorer (or My Computer)...
Open Windows Explorer (or My Computer)...
Start going through the folders - the setting stuck, eh?

That do it for you?

Set up a folder the way you like.

Then Tools>Folder Options>View

Apply this view to all folders.

It must've because everything is showing up as icons. I just hit the
apply to all folders button.
