Windows Vista folder properties

[567hunter]

In Vista Home Premium, I want to set the view for all folders and files
to show details and name, size, type and date modified.

I have set this up for a folder (as administrator), gone into its
properties and on the Customise tab clicked "Also apply this template to
all sub folders". (The Apply button is greyed out.) I click OK but the
change is not applied.

I want to set up all folders and files to have this format. Can someone
tell me where I am going wrong please?

Thanks

Thanks for that John. I tried a few things in the links you sent and
gradually I got what I wanted which is all folders and files in the same
format. I don't know exactly how I achieved it but it is ok for now.
