Note "Apply to all folders of this type"...

In Vista (and partially in XP) we have the concept of a folder type. So, when you change the view in a Document-type folder, music and picture folders will not change.

You can see the folder type by right clicking on a folder and go to the Customize tab. The first control will let you choose the template to be used for this folder.

I don't know if there is a way to change the folder type for all folders...


What I do is right-click on the drive, go to customize or something, and change the folder type and tell it to apply to all subfolders.  I do this for all drives, and I'm done.  Although, occasionally, Vista will revert some folders back to either picture view or mp3 view.
