i have a folder on my comp called pictures, with several folders in it representing the months, and folders in each of them representing the days. is there a way to make these all be viewed as a filmstrip by default??

Right click your "Pictures" folder and select "Properties" | "Customize" tab | Under "Use this folder type as a template", select "Pictures (best for many files)" from the drop down menu | Put a check mark next to "Also apply this template to all subfolders" | Open your "Pictures" folder | Select View-->Filmstrip.

Click to expand...

Are you referring to a "Pictures" folder you created, or the My Pictures folder under...

C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\My Documents\My Pictures...?

Start | Run | Type regedit, and click OK. Expand the ShellNoRoam Key in order to expose the subkeys...under the following Registry branch:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER | Software | Microsoft | Windows | ShellNoRoam | BagMRU
HKEY_CURRENT_USER | Software | Microsoft | Windows | ShellNoRoam | Bags

...and delete the BagMRU and Bags subkeys (in the LH pane). Make sure to back up/export the two Keys before deleting them, then reboot.

Windows forgets folder settings. Use this and it will remember.

I think SP2 fixes the problem as well.

Deleting those two keys resets all your folder settings to their defaults.

If you change the top level folder and appy changes to all sub folders. There is a tab under properties. otherwise I would suppose you could unhide the folders settings files and just copy it. might not work though?
