If
you have folders consisting many of your favorite pictures and videos, then
viewing contents of those folders in list or detail view could be very
annoying, as you may like to see the thumbnails for every picture and video.
However, you can change the view style to large or extra-large icons, from the
view menu, but what if you have a lot of sub-folders with a large collection of
pictures and videos, then changing view style of every folder could be a
nightmare.
In Windows, you can easily customize
the view style of a folder, and all its corresponding sub-folders, in just a
few clicks. For instance, I have this folder, consisting a huge collection of
my family pictures and videos, and I want to have thumbnail view for every
picture and video, for all the folders and sub-folders.
To do this, right-click on the main
folder, and then click Properties. Click Customize Tab. Open the drop down menu
for, Optimize the folder for, and tell Windows that what kind of contents your folder
contain. In my case, I choose Pictures, and I want to apply the same style for
all the sub-folders as well, so I do check, “Also apply this template to all
sub-folders”. That’s it!
Now, no matter which folder I browse
through, each folder view style will be similar, showing a nice thumbnail of
every picture. You can repeat the same steps for the folders having videos, so
you may have a little idea about which video you are going to play.
When you change the viewing style of a
folder using Customize Templates, you also get relative options in the menu
bar, when you select a file. Like you get the play menu for video folders, and
Pictures Tool menu for the folders containing pictures, from where you can play
a single or all videos, or can see a nice slide show.
You can also apply a specific picture
to a particular folder, to easily remember what kind of contents it contain,
which will be visible when you are viewing folders as large, or extra-large
icons, or you can apply a different icon for a specific folder.
Using the same method, you can
customize your Music and Documents folders too. So this was all about
customizing the look of folders according to their contents, and if you like
