That was an interesting experiment. After changing to icons, for the first time I could now slide the field title bar at the top of each column so I can see as much or as little of that column as I want. Before that field was of fixed width, fixed by the pixel setting chosen for each field in "chose details".
However it didn't change the ability to set details for a folder that apply to the subfolders. I also seem to have lost the abilty to even chose details now. I went back to Control panel/Folder options and undid the change but I still can't access the detail views options. I didn't change anything else in Folder options so I don't know how to get the ability to chose details in detail view back.
You don't have to experiment on a music folder. Try it on any old folder in Vista. They should all work the same. Since it's a brand new computer I may have to go to Dell now to see how I can get back where I was before. This is really a stupid design change from XP. It makes me wonder "what were they thinking"?
