222707 2004-03-15 19:07:00 How can I get Win Explorer to keep C:\Photos folder & subfolder to view in thumbnails, and C:\Finance folder & subfolders in details view.

I want to retain one view for each folder-subfolder in the same view mode.

Thanks John W

In Windows Explorer,
Tools, Folder Options. Click on the View tab and scroll down a screen full.
Tick the box:
Remember each folder's view settings

But it isn't perfect. Give it a try.
I sort by date for lots of things then everything else sorts by date and drives me nuts.

Thats exactly the problem Im having. Thought there was a way to do what I wanted, well I thought there was as I had seen others have folders & subs in the same view, but then I never saw what their other directory folders files looked like.

Cheers John W
