In Windows Explorer (Win7-10) the folder's type is detected automatically by the files in it (e.g., music). I can disable this on folder base manually in the properties of each folder (and its subfolder). But this creates a lot of desktop.ini files.
Is there a way to disable the folder type detection on a system based level - like "Windows should never detect the folder types on its own and should always use the plain file view"?
Note - this behaviour was actually introduced in Vista, not Win7. I believe the solution described below will also work in Vista (although I don't have an installed machine to test it on so can't be certain). – Jules – 2018-04-22T20:15:51.853
