One of my main complaints with Vista (the other is search) is that if Vista suspects there is a picture or an audio file anywhere around it changes the folder view from the familiar columns (Name, Date Modified, Type, and Size) to some freakish star-based columns. I have been searching for almost a year for a foolproof way to fix this. After Googling this for the millionth time I happened on http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/720912.html . The advice is contradictory and confusing, but I was able to put together the following method for finally resolving my problem (hopefully). YMMV:
- Pick a folder under C:\, and left-click it in the left explorer pane to bring up a view of it on the right.
- Right-click and choose Customize - set to first view template, click ok.
- Set DETAILS view and NAME, DATE MODIFIED, TYPE, and SIZE headers, sort on TYPE.
- Choose Tools/Folder Options from the Explorer menu.
- From the view tab, choose "Apply to folders".
- Go back and do the same for all other view templates.
