I just wanted to pass along a HUGE thank you for all who were involved putting together this utility. My eyesight isn't so good anymore. Therefore, my preferred view are tiles. I also have a large ICO library that I use to identify folders. Windows 10 and 11 are designed so poorly when it comes to respecting the wishes of the user. I have to constantly used CTRL+SHFT+7 to reset my folders. This is extremely annoying when I am teaching an online class. I must have tried to fix this problem dozens of times over the years and nothing worked. But the genus behind this utility is so great that I had to find a way to say it... THANK YOU! |

This immediately eliminates such a major Windows annoyance that I still cannot believe it. |

Brilliant. It begs the question why can't Microsoft do something this easy? It seems like the issue was created by a MS developer who likes grouping and reseting folder views for his own system, so made the world have it, too. This is why people fear upgrading their OS. |

Thanks very much for this! Explorer has always been irritating to me, but your app changed all that. I now get the explorer window the way I want it. Not microsoft's way. |

Making Explorer Great Again. 🥇 Joking aside. Thank you for this incredible program, Les. Explorer became less and less usable and the functionality (as user above me says) became irritating. It took longer to accomplish the job. My only wish is that more people know about this great program. |

The developer is a god for this. I'm ashamed to admit it, but Microsoft's insistence on forcing unwanted garbage into my life has been a constant source of frustration. Running this app felt like I was lifting a curse. I feel slightly happier now. If anyone knows of an online community where various windows un-frickery is discussed, please let me know. There are several other things I desperately want to stop Windows from doing |

I recommend tenforums.com (for Windows 10) and elevenforum.com (for Windows 11). That's where I first announced WinSetView. There are a lot of good tutorials and discussions there for just about everything that can be tweaked in Windows. Two other tools that you may find useful are Winaero Tweaker and Ultimate Windows Tweaker. |

I'm without words... I want to bear your children. In fact, many women should bear as many of your children as possible. In so this tribe would save our world. |

In a word, WOW! WinSetView is a wonderful utility and can't thank enough. Windows explorer is heavily used and the group by and the columns, width, settings, etc. keep changing everytime Microsoft does some trial and error and WinSetView takes care of all these issues and much more! No other way to put it other than to say, Just Love It! EDIT: When I open or save file, the dialog doesn't really honor the column width that I set for the default view. Is it by design or is there anyway to force the column width of the open/save dialog to display the same way as the default explorer view? |

The file dialogs views should honor your settings, including column widths. The usual reason for not getting the expected result is that the app was open at the time Submit was clicked in WinSetView. Some apps minimize to the System tray when you click X. They have to be fully closed (e.g. right-click their system tray item and select Quit or Exit). If you're seeing this issue in all apps, then something else is up. What apps have you checked? |

You are correct. Notepad++ and ShareX were OPEN when I submitted the
settings from WinSetView. Now, I closed them and when I opened it, it was
not honoring the column width. Then, I re-ran the setup and now it works
fine. I guess all the apps need to be closed before running your app? If
that is the case, I guess I will have to run it after I reboot my computer.

The apps need to be closed before clicking Submit. Rebooting (or logging out and in) before running WinSetView is a good idea unless you have apps set to automatically load at startup. |

Thank you for your response. Yes, I have apps set to auto run at startup.
That's fine as I closed the auto start up apps and re-ran the setup.
Thanks again for the wonderful utility and it's an invaluable tool, imho.

Thank you so much for this tool! It has solved about 15 issues I've been tasked with finding solutions for for my team at work (and also all the personal Win 11 machines in my friends and family) all in one easy to use, and exceptionally documented program. You're a true hero!!! |

You are a superstar! This tool has made my life absolutely livable especially on windows 11 which unlike windows 10 somehow does not apply views to all folders. Where to buy you coffee? RIP Puddles. |

I love tool like this that un-f*** WIndows' bad ideas.
Like to share a few more tools that fix Windows problems:
WPD (windows privacy)- needs to be re-run frequently as Windows constantly resets many of it's settings
Everything- replaces Windows crappy search- is super fast and configurable.
Anyhow, thanks for this tool!
