I use my computer as a professional. Therefore the Vista file explorer needs to always show the details view of a folder regardless of folder content. In a business environment it looks amateurish to see a ratings column with stars because there happens to be an MP3 file in there. If I should want a pictures or music view, then just let me choose that manually. I looked around for a FAQ but saw no solution. Should the Vista file explorer be unable to always default to Details view, please, anyone, feel free of suggest an aftermarket/third-party file explorer. Yes, I will pay if necessary. Thank you. |

XYplorer is really an excellent substitute for Windows Explorer. I obtained it when my old faithful PowerDesk 6 which I used for years kept acting up in Vista. While I was (and am still) really pleased with XYplorer, Avanquest.com has finally updated PowerDesk 7 to Vista compatible. PowerDesk and XYplorer each have many features Windows Explorer lacks and some different from each other. You can't go wrong on either as a substitute, although my bias is toward PoweDesk I suppose because of my long famiiarity with it and a few of the features not found in XYplorer. There's a "free" version of PowerDesk that you can try. www.avanquest.com "pilotplanes" <joewasik2007-google@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:78e9c286-4f45-4979-8b87-cdd2ee69528f@z72g2000hsb.googlegroups.com... > Thank you for the reply.
