Is there a way in Windows NT 4 change all the folder views to show just List or Detail? If we make a change to the folder settings, it seems to revert back to what it was before, large icons. The workstation does not seemed to be "profiled".

Once you have the options set for one folder, click View->Folder Options->View (no, I'm not stuttering), then click the "Like Current Folder" button, click Apply, then click OK.

Both My Computer and Windows NT Explorer will *still* occasionally lose the setting; less so if you close them manually before shutdown, but never perfect.

I checked your answer but I did not see a Like Current Folder in Windows NT. (I checked earlier.) That Folder Options, I think, is just on Windows 98 and Windows 2K.

Why not use Windows NT Explorer instead of clicking on My Computer? Just create a shortcut on your desktop.

Person wants to us My Computer. The conclusion is this: You need active desktop to perform this type of task like piescikp@earthlink.net was talking about short of maybe a reg. hack.
