In Windows VIsta? No matter what I try to do it always shows several views for (seemingly) random folder types.

How many times have you misplaced a set of files or folders and had to go searching for them inside folders? Tried to clean and backup data and had to continuously right click and see properties for folder size information? Or delete from your CD/DVD burning software because the folder was too big? Why doesn't Vista have this functionality built in to view the size of the folders in Explorer when you "view by details"?

I hate the 'details' view which Vista has adopted as default.

In XP, you used to be able to change the view of one folder then click Tools --> Options --> Apply to all folders - but this no longer seems possible in Vista.

Any ideas?

I hope you can follow me here.....Here goes...

When i am viewing my pictures I can seem to view the files by thumbnail previews like I could do in Windows XP

Here is what I am doing....

Documents - My Pictures - Then I choose the folder of choice - then within the views you can see large, medium, or small icons, or view by details....

How the heck do I get to see the preview instead of the blue sky looking icons.

Help Please!

Cheers
