Description
A plea...
Deanna and I have been running this site since 2008 and lately we're seeing a big increase in
users (and cost) but a decline in percentage of users who donate. Our ad-free and junkware-free
download site only works if everyone chips in to offset the revenue that ads on other sites bring
in. Please donate at the bottom of the page. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
your Older Geeks: Randy and Deanna

WinSetView v3.1.8

👉 Set default File Explorer folder views across Windows with just a few clicks.

WinSetView is a free, portable utility that provides an easy way to configure default folder views throughout Windows File Explorer. You can apply a preferred view such as Details, List, Tiles or Icons globally, while assigning different settings to specific folder types such as Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos, Downloads, Libraries, OneDrive folders and search results.

The program can customize displayed columns, column order, widths, sorting and grouping for each folder type. It also covers File Open and Save dialogs, connected devices such as phones and many virtual Windows folders that are not affected by File Explorer's standard Apply to Folders option.

WinSetView works by configuring registry values that File Explorer already supports. It does not modify Explorer, install services or leave background tasks running. Existing folder-view settings can be backed up before changes are applied, restored later or reset to the original Windows defaults.

The program can be used as a portable application from a local folder, flash drive or network location. An optional installer is also available for users who prefer a conventional installation. Portable use does not require administrator rights, although individual Explorer options marked with a shield may require elevation.
