How to set This PC folder format?

Hi
I created two folder formats, one for general view, one for "This PC".
General view format is fine and works for all folders.
I manually set the format of "This PC" to my "barkin_disk" format, it shows the information I want.
But when I navigate through the folders and come back to "This PC", the format is gone and it goes back to user default (I believe it is user default) format.
This is reallty annoying. It should stick to my desired format.

What am I doing wrong?

best regards
Avni

There's a special This PC format in Preferences / Folders / Folder Formats which is the one that will be used in the This PC folder.

I edit This PC format and set but it does not display the format I chose

Please post some screenshots of the format, and the result.

Also, when in the folder, if you hover (don't click) the mouse over the format lock (padlock icon) in the status bar, it will tell you some information. Please post a screenshot of that as well.


From C drive I click up button it goes back to This PC view and it changes to not-my-format

You have turned on the format lock, so the format will not change when you change folders. Click the padlock icon to turn it off. If you're using a layout or the default lister, you may then need to save over them, depending on your other settings.

I don't see any padlock icon on my screen. If you mean locking the tab, it doesn't work with or without locking.
