But you can also specify different View menu settings for an individual folder. To do this check the View Properties Saved in Folder box in the Settings menu, change the View settings to whatever you want then uncheck the View Properties saved in Folder box. Doing this creates a .directory file in that folder to hold the folder View settings. Use the Settings->Remove Folder Properties option to remove the folder specific settings (or just delete the .directory file).
