Thank you for your answer Mike. But first of all, there is no "Customize" Tab
for C:\ (the root-folder) !!! So this is not working at all for my problem!

Just right click (C -> Properties -> NO CUSTOMIZE TAB !

I only see the customize tab on normal drives and folders. And I don't see
there any option "not to show folder content type". The customize tab only
allows me to change the folder type and the folder icon but there is nothing
else :-/.

What I'd really like would be to find an OFF-Switch to the whole
Auto-Sensing Thing the explorer does with folder types :-/... or at least a
way to have the same explorer layout in every folder no matter that's in it!
