How to See the Same View in All Folders (Windows 7)

How to See the Same View in All Folders (Windows 7)
To set the default view for all folders and files to details, follow the four steps described on the Microsoft Support site:

Locate and open the folder that has the view setting that you want to use for all folders.
On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
On the View tab, click Apply to All Folders.
Click Yes, and then click OK.

Note: To reset all the folders to the default view settings, repeat these steps, but click Reset All Folders in step 3.
Windows Explorer Folder Options dialog
The options under the View tab in the familiar Windows Explorer Folder Options dialog box.
In Vista and Windows 7, you have to follow these steps for five different folder templates to have all Explorer folders show the details view: General Items, Documents, Pictures, Music, and Videos. Even then, a system change may reset your folder views to the Windows default, which uses different views based on the folder's contents.
So where does that leave us poor souls who simply want to see all our files and folders in the same view--details, lists, thumbnails, or icons--in every Explorer folder?
You can reset the view shown in the five folder templates in Windows Explorer via the Folder Properties dialog.
Going the Explorer-replacement route
You might wonder why Microsoft would make it so difficult for Windows users to see the contents of all folders in Explorer in the view of their choice, whether details, lists, small icons, large icons, or some other view. You might also wonder whether there might be a better file manager available for Windows.
Yes, but my current favorite Explorer alternative is David Erceg's Explorer++ donationware, which has many useful file-management features, including the ability to select the default view for all folders: click Tools > Options > Default Settings, make your selection, and click OK.
Explorer++ file-management utility Options dialog
The donationware Explorer++ file manager lets you set the view for all folders via a single option.
Explorer++ can be set to work along with Windows Explorer or to replace Explorer. You can drag and drop files between Explorer++ and other programs, including Explorer windows. Like other Explorer replacements, Explorer++ adds multiple tabs for quick folder switches and easy file management. The program also lets you split, merge, or "destroy" files, and create bookmarks and custom keyboard shortcuts.
Even if you use a Windows file manager other than Explorer, you're likely to find yourself navigating through Windows' built-in file and folder viewers from time to time. Unless you find yourself spending a big chunk of your workday managing files and folders on a Windows machine, it may be most efficient to change Explorer's view to your preference once for each folder type and then learn to live with the handful of folders that will inevitably insist on presenting whichever view Microsoft preselected for us.

Corrupted OS SOLVED! I was looking for a computer repair shop because my dell laptop didn't want to reboot. Good thing I was able to find WLACS in Santa Monica because their staff were so professional and kind. After talking with them I realized that some of my data got corrupted and all they needed to do was to recover those corrupted data.

expensive(mac book, major water damage). this guys are definitely a character. At the end of the day this guys are professional people who care about their reputation and knows what he's doing. He delivered far beyond my expectations. Repaired Macbook (upgrade in memory at my bequest. Though he lacks the man power of a bigger repair company, I would enthusiastically recommend them and I use them again if ever needed. The quality workmanship and much lower cost seemed to good to be true, but, surprisingly it wasn't.
