Windows 7 Folder View Fix

Like a lot of other Windows 7 / Vista users I want my folders to display information based on my choice not on a Microsoft Global Template.

I tried this registry hack and it seems to work, now I can set My Pictures folder to display thumbnails, and My Music to display as a list, and Downloads to display as detail, etc. This hack also seems to have fixed the positioning and sizing of windows; now when I open Windows Explorer it is in the same position and size it was in when I closed it.


 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\LocalSettings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\shell]

Add a new string value named "FolderType" and change the value to "NotSpecified"
