Hi,

My "Downloads" folder in Vista suddenly looks like my "Music" folder
with columns like "Artist", "Album" and "Genre". I would like it to be
like it was, a normal file folder. Do I have to change all the columns
manually, or can I somehow set it to be a normal file folder?

I am afraid to mess too much with this folder since it's one of those
special folders with it's own icon, but I would like it to be a normal
file folder since it doesn't contain any music. Btw, does anyone know
what triggers a folder to change columns like my download have done did?

Look at the examples for the different folder templates.

If you are having trouble with Vista remembering your settings as you
lest left them when you close the window, then see Method Two in this
tutorial.
