How to stop Windows explorer showing columns 'Date Taken' and 'Rating' etc on folders containing an image


I'm using Windows Vista at work (Business edition). Normally if I open Explorer in details view I see the columns Name, Date modified, Type and Size. Sometimes i'll open a folder that contains an image and the columns will instead be Name, Date taken, Tags, Size and Rating.


I find this really annoying. Can I stop Windows doing this?


Answer



After customizing a single folder to your liking simply do this:
Windows Explorer => Organize => Folder and search options (alternatively Tools => Folder options) => View Tab => Under the Folder views click "Apply to Folder" button.


Assuming you do that for pictures, it will use this customization for all other folders that uses folder type of pictures. You can do the same for document, video, music folders as well.
