It's not a folder of audio files!?
Owen 11.07.2007 18:26:03
How do I get Vista to not show a folder as if it was a folder of audio files?
For example, I have a folder with some linux tgz files in it. When I navigate
to the folder (with the view set to details), I get a view that has for
columns across the top: Name, Artists, Album, #, Genre, Rating. How do I get
this display to go away and the regular detail display with filename, size,
date, etc columns?

Vista seems to take a guess at the folder contents, and displays columns
accordingly.
To change them, right-click on a blank area of the right pane, select
"Customize this folder"
Change the template in the pull-down to "All Items"
Or, you can select whatever columns you want, by right-clicking on the
"Names" heading
and selecting "More..."

That works for a while... However, after a few days, the folder seems to
have "forgotten" the command, and displays as sound again.
