Coming from the "Wonder Twin Powers" department, Lockergnomie Frank Schnyder fixes forgetful folders. When the much-ballyhooed Active Desktop rolled out, we were given a few new file management options. Did you know that each folder could retain a unique interface? You're limited, of course, by Explorer's VIEW and SORT settings. While you prefer to see one folder's contents arranged by name in a 32x32 iconular format, you may wish to sort another by type (with Details enabled). No brainer, right? Well, if you wanna reset all your folders (across the motherboard) to one particular format, select FOLDER OPTIONS from the VIEW menu, flip to the VIEW tab, then press the RESET ALL FOLDERS button. Or, if you really like how the open folder looks and feels, press the LIKE CURRENT FOLDER button. Exact wording may vary, but those running IE4 and IE5 should have these features.
