Hi all.
I know how I can force all folders to a specific view, but I wonder if there is a way to force a specific network folder to always display in a certain view for all Win users accessing the said folder?
The folder in question is on a file server, accessible via mapped drive, contains a series of links to other networked files and each link has been customized with purpose made explanatory icons depicting each file's contents. The issue is that with Windows always plastering a shortcut arrow over the icons, in the smaller views like "Details" or "List", users can't really tell what the icon is, so I'd like to force the folder view to either "Large Icons" or "Extra Large Icons".
Since users are accessing the folder from multiple computers, I'd prefer to avoid any 3rd part software if at all possible, but all suggestions are welcome and greatly appreciated.
