Thanks that sorted it but it looks like ime going to have to do it with every folder and i have a lot.
I use Windows 7 so I'm not sure if it can applies to Windows 10 too, but try it anyway...
Go to your own main folder (
not any of the sub-folders), it could be
My Documents or whatever main folder you have. In your case, it could be the
2019 waiting for filing (unless this is a subfolder, in which case, open whatever folder is
2019 waiting for filing is in).
First: You need to set up the view you like, in this case, change the view from details to icons. As per Box Brownie's posting (post #5). When you have done that, the next task is to make all sub folders have the same thumbnail views.
Click on the
File tab.
Click on
Change folder and search options (according to a website I looked up)
Click on
File Explorer Options
If you get the
Folder Options box, that would be great. Click on the
View tab.
At the top of the
View tab, there is what is called
Folder views which gives you two buttons.
Assuming if you have adjusted the view in the folder you are viewing, and clicked on the
Apply to Folders button, then it would make all sub folders under the folder you are viewing, match the same settings.
Using your screenshot as an example: If you view
2019 Waiting for filing folder and change it to show thumbnails, then you used the
Apply to Folders button. The sub folder
New Folder will then have the thumbnails view too. But the others like
Jokes, Test, and
To post on Nikon won't change from details to thumbnails, which means you would have to adjust each folder's view options one by one.
But if
2019 Waiting for filing, Jokes, Test, and To post on Nikon are all under one top folder, then you need to go to this parent folder, view it, change settings, then apply the
Apply to Folders setting. It will make all sub folders (assuming if
2019 Waiting for filing, Jokes, Test, and To post on Nikon are subfolders) match the settings.
