Windows 10 - Creating Customized WIndows Folder Templates

Hi,

In order for us to assist you on how to customized Windows folder templates. Kindly follow these steps:

Method 1: Change Folder Group by View from File Explorer Ribbon.

1. In File Explorer, open the folder you want to change the group by the view of its content.
2. Click/tap on the View tab (Alt+V).
3. Click/tap on Group by in the ribbon, and click/tap on the detail (ex: Name) you want to group items by in this folder.

4. Select to group items in this folder by ascending (default) or descending order with the selected detail (ex: Name).

Method 2: To Change Folder Sort by View from Context Menu

1. In File Explorer, open the folder you want to change the group by the view of its content.
2. Right click or press and hold on an empty area inside the folder, click/tap on Group by, and click/tap on the detail (ex: Name) you want to group items by in this folder.

3. Select to group items in this folder by ascending (default) or descending order with the selected detail.

Let us know how it goes.

That doesn't come close to answering my question.  I have no idea where you got the sorting idea from as I never mentioned it in the orginal query.

I want to know why in early September all my music folders had 10 columns (see original query) and in late September over half of them only had 4 (again see original query).

Is there any update that took effect prior to the changes of the columns on your music folders?

Hey! I was troubled by that problem too! The reason was different though. Try to do these things:

1. Enter any of the folder which has the customised look as you want. Click the 'options' button under 'view' tab in the explorer ribbon. Next, navigate to 'view' tab in the newly opened windows and click on 'apply to all folders'. Click 'yes' on the prompt window that will pop up.

2. If the above step doesn't get things right, do this next: Verify that the folders that do not have your customisation are optimized for songs.

If you have any more queries, please ask.
