Do you have one that makes all the files in Explorer show up as detail view by default, regardless of whether they are music or pictures? If so, please share.

Unfortunately, no. This is one of those settings I have to manually revisit on each new OS install. Or new user profile that's created (it's a per-user setting)...
This discussion seems to indicate it's pretty much encoded in some binary format. Whether you want to risk using some undocumented thing or not is up to you...

My solution: It's often quicker still to drop to a command prompt and type a del command. Of course this doesn't help here if you've been carefully selecting individual files one-by-one in Explorer with no particular discernible pattern (there's no common wildcard you can use at a command prompt).
You solution can't hurt, but I'm not sure if this helps when managing files across a LAN. Of course this might be an entirely different problem. I tend to have indexing disabled at both ends, yet it can often take a lot of time just to refresh the content of a folder that contains very few files.
As far as I'm concerned (as a general comment), search has been broken since the Windows 2000 era. I've been saying since then that the whole "web search" paradigm applied to local file search is broken, and will remain broken, until the indexing can (efficiently) be maintained in realtime. The example I always use is to edit a .txt file to add a particular string, save it, then search for the string. If it doesn't come back right away, as far as I'm concerned, it's broken. More often than not, I use Visual Studio's "Find in Files", which does not try to use that indexing system. Yes, it's slower. No, it doesn't miss a thing. Guess which is more important to me?

Wrong place for your question. Please try Quick Answers[^] instead.

And i just wanted to ask a question about how to toast an EPROM. It's a hardware question, so it's allowed here, right?
Ahhh, it's too late. Looks like my museum notebook is almost done with toasting.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Bah - that's too easy. Now - toasting WITH an EPROM - that takes control...
I, for one, like Roman Numerals.

No. That would be all too easy to do if I accidentally jumpered the wrong VPP (the voltage for the programming pulse).

So, what do you propose instead?

Well in this case I invite you to communicate directly with either the moderation team, so that this kind of post is finally authorized in the Lounge, or to @code-witch if you think he is abusing the forum.
In my opinion, he is not; he is not asking us to help solve/understand a development issue. This is more a conversation a team of developpers would have around a cup of coffee during their pause, imho.

Don't take it personal. I don't care either way, I just wish people would be consistent.

I trust people, at least most of them on this forum, to be as consistent as possible. I just don't think both questions are in the same category.
I'm not taking it personally; since this is not the first time you do this remark and it seems to annoy you, why not opening a discussion about that in the appropriate forum? It could enact a better formulation of what is allowed and what is not on the Lounge. And if you really don't care, then let it go

However, I have often seen newcomers post questions similar to code-witch (who is a woman by the way) and they get told off by frequent Loungers. But then have no problem having code-witch's facebook feed dump right into CP.
phil.o wrote: And if you really don't care, then let it go I think you misunderstood what I don't care about. I DO care that CP is clickish. Why? I don't know. It's just annoying. People annoy me. I should have been born a deer. Let's hope for reincarnation.
And each time I have brought it up I get ignored or argued with, like you here, so bringing it up elsewhere won't do any good.

You get ignored or argued with. What other option do you expect?

I have an old notebook which I only use to toast EPROMS, sample the Elf's old cassette tapes (or as digital recorder when I save something with the Elf) and to run terminal emulation, also for the Elf. It has one of the first Intel Celery processors. THE CD drive has been dead for almost 20 years now, but for the other stuff it's good enough, even if it's a museum piece itself.
I just started it for the first time in a while - and it tried to boot from the supposedly dead CD drive. That CD must have been in there for ages and it never even try to boot from it. Now it did and promptly complained that the (copied) CD is not quite readable.

Seagate oder Seagate nicht.
That's a pun on 'sie geht oder sie geht nicht', which means 'it works or it does not work'.
