![]() This reply was modified 2 years, 10 months ago by Al Taylor. I changed the location of a users personal folders to a mounted network drive, by modifying the values under HKEYCURRENTUSERSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerUser Shell Folders. (FWIW, it’s accompanied by 13 pages of comments that go all the way into 2020.) The program is on the Windows 7 Forum and can be found here: ![]() Ill post a PowerShell script that creates custom templates. but the default templates use Content view. A search view will be saved for a specific folder. While SFF was designed for Windows 7, I have successfully used it without issue on all subsequent versions of Windows, including the present Win 10-2004. When I do a search in Windows Explorer, it always defaults to the following useless view (ok, so useless to me anyway) called Content. Click Ok and see the result The result: default icon has changed to its original form. In the folder icon section click on Change Icon. Right-click on the folder and click on the Properties. The reason is that, for all of my installs, one of the first programs I put on is a small utility called “ShellFolderFix” (SFF) whose purpose is (it says in it’s post) “to Manage folder position/size.” Since each of my folders, when opened, ARE exactly the size and location where I last put them, then my suspicion is that SFF is also making my View selection persistent for each folder. Choose the folder you already have and want to restore. This is not quite the same having a default where “every” Window opens with the identical View selection, but is functionally the same as long as one is OK with first setting it (and then it can be forgotten).īut I don’t know if Windows itself is doing this “always the same View” function for me or not. Close the explorer window (Do not browse anything else after this) Press Windows/Start Key + R to open Run, type ‘regedit’ and hit enter to open the registry edit. Apply the custom view you would like manually. To reset Windows 10 File Explorer to the default view on the Folder views section of the Views tab, click Reset Folders. Go inside the folder and perform a search. ![]() What you can do is, right click your preferred folder and choose Send To - Desktop (create shortcut) You can leave that shortcut on your Desktop, or right click the new shortcut and choose Pin to Taskbar if that is where you like to open File Explorer. When re-opened, various windows my File Explorer always show the last “View” selection that I made for them however, that particular selection had to initially be made when the Window was first opened, but then remains each time re-opened. Create a new folder anywhere, also create a file of any sort into it. You cannot actually set a default folder to open Windows File Explorer on. Can anyone tell me how to set “Details” as the default View in File Explorer so that whenever I open a folder to the file level, it shows me the Details immediately? ![]()
