The "Set Global Column Headings" allows you to customize the columns view. if you use a specific view for your Music library with tags, I recommend disabling the option.Įveryone has a preference for the way the columns appear in Explorer, some like the File Type column, some may find the Size column useful, and so on. The "Make All Folders Generic" setting applies to the example I told you at the start of the article, it forces the same view across the system folders (Downloads, Pictures, Music, etc). The whole thing looks messy, if you agree and want to get rid of the view, click the "No Grouping" option in WinSetView. I don't know about you, but I dislike the way Windows groups items in the Downloads folder, it sorts them by date. If you find those useful, leave the 2nd option's box checked. Do you want to see the file extensions? (e.g. You can pick any of the following: Details, List, Tiles, Content, Small Icons, Medium Icons, Large Icons. The line of options at the top, lets you choose the view type. The HTA file is just a GUI (front-end) for the PS1 script. You may have noticed that WinSetView's icon looks like the PowerShell icon, that's because the tool is a script. The program's interface should open, we'll get to it in a second. Extract it to a folder, and run the file that is labeled WinSetView.hta. Select "Download Zip", and it will fetch you a 25KB archive. To download it, head to the project's GitHub page, and click on the Code button (Green colored). The program is open source, and portable.
Want to set the same view for all the directories in one go? WinSetView does that. So, you will have to set the view type manually for these folders. Go on and try it, switch to these directories, and you will see that each of those has a different view. Windows has quite a few system folders or user folders, such as Downloads, Music, Videos, Documents, etc. The last part is what's important, it doesn't say "All Folders", meaning the setting does not apply to every directory. You may have used Explorer's options, to set a specific view as the default one for all folders of the type.
