Re: How To Make ALL Folders the same format.
Miarage--

1) If you read my posts, I said you might first have to use the instructions
I gave you to set the folders the way you wanted them.

Change thumbnail size and file details
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...1b06d1033.mspx

You can change the size and appearance of your file and folder icons by
using the Views menu, which is located on the toolbar within every folder.

Open the folder you want to change.

Click the arrow next to Views on the toolbar.

Move the slider up or down to change the appearance of the icons.

The slider has seven rest positions: Tiles, Details, List, Small Icons,
Medium Icons, Large Icons, and Extra Large Icons. You can move the slider to
any of these positions, or fine-tune the size of the icons by moving the
slider to any point between these positions.

To quickly switch between views, click Views on the toolbar. Each time you
click, the folder switches to one of these four views: List, Details, Tiles,
and Large Icons.

Also:

Change folder views and behavior

2) Then use the control folders dialogue box to "reset folders" then the
apply to all folders button will become active and hit that one.apply to all
folders."

So set your folders according to the two links above first, and then use
control folders dialogue boxes two buttons.

Button one: "Reset all folders" Button two: "apply to all folders."
