on my computer running winXP, i'm trying to set MY PICTURES folder and subfolders to be in view mode of THUMBNAILS.

i can do it for one folder, but i can't apply changes to 'this folder and all sub folders'.
i don't want to go to each sub directory and change to the view mode to thumbnails because that'll take forever.
i know you can apply a view for all folders, but i only want it for the My Pictures folder.
i know you can make it save changes to remember how each folder was viewed.

is there a fast and easy way to do it?

In windows explorer when you have thumbnail view go to tools --> folder options --> view --> select apply to all folders.
