Music folder default settings in Windows 10

Question

Music folder default settings in Windows 10

Anonymous

How do I set the default options for display within a folder which is of type Music? For example in Music under this PC when I drill to where audio files are I see the default explorer defaults to Name # Title Contributing artists Album. My goal would be to change the default for all Music folders to include the Rating attribute to be displayed. I know I can right click then click columns option in the files pain and select it. However that is pretty much a pain and would like to set it so Ratings is also by default displayed.

Hi Oxnard

Open a folder that contains only audio files

In the Layout section of File Explorer, set up the view of that folder the way you like it to be, including adding and removing columns in that view . . .

Then on the View Ribbon (tab) in File Explorer, click Options

On the View Tab of the resulting dialog, click 'Apply to Folders' and then click Apply and OK

That will set that as the default view for all folders that contain music files . . .
