[QUOTE="chomper, post: 1352746, member: 185457"] Hello, When I was using Snow Leopard and wanted all my folders to have the same view options, I did the following: 1) Deleted all .DS_Store files using: sudo find / -name ".DS_Store" -depth -exec rm {} \; thus getting rid of any view setting I'd applied earlier. 2) I launched the Finder and set the view settings of one particular folder the way I liked 3) I pressed the "Use as defaults" button in Show view options 4) And it worked In Lion, I want all my folders to be arranged by kind (the new feature called "arrange by") and sorted by name. The above steps don't work! The "Use as defaults" button in Show view options is greyed out. Is this a bug in 10.7.2 (after doing some Google searching I think this might be the case) or am I missing something? [/QUOTE]
