Auto Arrange All my Folders?

[hecklernumber1]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is an easy way I could set all my folders on my computer to Auto Arrange by Name, and for it to be able to remember it next time I went into that particular folder.

My only other option is to go to: Right Click--->Arrange Icons By:--->Auto Arrange and that would just be a waste to do one by one (I have a lot of folders! )

Thanks

You don't say what Operating System you are running - I'll assume Windows XP or 2000.

Just call up the 'My Computer' window and set 'Arrange by Name'.
Then using the 'My Computer' window, click on 'Tools'-> 'Folder Options' and select the 'View' tab.
In the 'Advanced settings' list make sure that 'Remember each folder's view setting' is ticked.
Then click on the 'Reset All Folders' buttons to clear the settings.
Then click on the 'Apply to All Folders' button to set all of them to the same value as the 'My Computer' window.

That should do the job and this setting can still be over-ridden for individual folders if required.
