Overide default columns in Windows Explorer column headings   

hello all,

When a particular folder contains only, say pictures or videos, the column 
headings for that folder contains heading like 'Tag', 'Rating', which I don't 
like.

I don't want that defaults. Can I override that default column heading, not 
just for one folder, but for all folders in the Windows Explorer.

In other words, a kinda of global template where I tell Windows Explorer 
following,
"Use the column headings in this folder for all my folders in Windows 
Explorer. Go forth and multiply! Obey this!!!"

Thanx in advance

L&L

Set the folder the way you want it.  Then:

Tools - Folder options - View - Apply to folders

Doesn't work in VISTA. I read somewhere also that it is only limited to 400 
folders. But that could be tweakUI that had that option in XP. In VISTA the 
Tools - Folder options - View - Apply to folders does not work. Any remedies 
for this?

Thanks.
