I need to change the default Detail view in Windows Vista Feb06 CTP. What I mean is, for example, I do not want the Keyword column to be displayed at all and to set the width of the Title column to a wider value; except I want these settings to propagate throughout the whole OS. How can I achieve that?
Thank you, Sammy

I want things like you too, including displaying the "Size" column everywhere. But it doesn't seem possible in this CTP. Explorer may still miss functions, perhaps we'll have to wait for April CTP.

I also want the size column, for me it's often indispensable and a PITA having to re-enable it each and every time (even on the same folder).
MS, are you listening???

Right click Keyword > click more > uncheck Keyword and click more. Type in column width of selected column (in pixels) (I do not know the limit).
Click OK. > Click View (ensure that you have Classic menus enabled) > click "Customize This Folder..." > click Customize (tab) > click "Also apply this template to all subfolders".
To enable Classic Menus: Click "Configure this Explorer's Layout" button the green menu bar, its the first button to the extreme left > click "Classic Menus". -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta FAQ for MS AntiSpy http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm

Yes but the problem with this is that it will also reset folders like Computer, Documents, Videos, Music etc. I want to leave these folders alone but only reset the ones that already have a detail view.
Thank you, Sammy
