Registry Tweaks (Advanced): - To enforce these settings globally or make them default for media devices, you might need to delve into the registry. - Adjusting specific folder views via registry editing can be complex and risky if done improperly. It's recommended for advanced users. - You would typically need to locate the registry keys governing folder templates and customize them for different views. 3. Third-Party Tools: - There are third-party tools available that can help manage and customize folder templates in Windows Explorer more easily. - Tools like "Q-Dir" or "FreeCommander" offer advanced file manager features that might provide the customization you need. By applying these changes or using specific tools, you should be able to set a default view for media devices like your SmartPhone in Windows Explorer and potentially customize folder views for specific types of storage devices.
