Hi.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to backup the folder settings of one folder and all the folders within that folder. The reason why I want to do this is because I have one My Music folder. Inside the folder, I have about 70 folders, named after the artist. In each artist's folder, I like to have the view as "details." On the top of the folder, there are little tabs like Name, Size, Type, Artist etc, but by default, Windows does not list the bitrate, so I would have to manually select Bit Rate and drag that tab to where I want it positioned. I just recently had to format and so therefore all my music was copied from my external drive (backup) back onto my computer. Previously, I had manually set every folder into the way I described. It is a real hassle to set every folder manually after a backup, so I was wondering if there was some sort of way to set the folder once and be able to back up that configuration? This is just a little pet peeve of mine, so I was just curious as to whether there was a way around it. Thanks.

There is the - windows explorer menu, tools, folder options, view tab, "like current folder" button for a quick fix

It can be done, the question is how much time and effort are you willing to spend. Unless you are willing to do some regedit kung fu, you will have to find some utility that can do it, but I won't be surprised if someone here or at software can point you to all the exact registry keys.
