Here's how to use the same View settings for all folders in Windows 98.

  1. Open a new configuration window by double-clicking My Computer or by opening any folder.
  2. On the View menu and choose Folder Options.
  3. Click the View tab, and then click Like Current Folder.

To return the settings for all folders to the settings that were in effect when Internet Explorer was installed, click Reset All Folders instead.
