Viewing formats of windows

I know how to individually set the format of viewing a window, whether that be in list/thumbnail/icons etc, but I was wondering whether there is a way to do the same thing but as a general setting to the whole computer - so it does not continually have to be re-done? (And if so, how do you do it?)

With thanks

Julie

RE: Viewing formats of windows

Hi Julie, Thank you for your post, In answer to your question, try this; Open your My Computer dialog box; select the option Tools and choose Folder Options, This will open the Global Folder options dialog box. Observe the options on page one (General), make any choices if you wish. Select the View tab and make your choices as you require; dont forget to click the Apply to All Folders button at the top of the dialog box, this will apply the view you are using for this dialog box to all folders. I hope that helps. best regards Pete

Microsoft Office tip:

Prevent macros from running when you start Applications

Macros are automated programs that can help you speed up your work. They can be embedded in caommands like AutoExec which will make them run as soon as an application like MS Word or MS Access are launched.
Sometimes it is useful to be able to switch off this function, and then can be done by the following method.
Hold down the SHIFT key when you click on the icon to start the program. This will suppress any automated macros.
