I occasionally produce music and starting to get back into it. I just got a new machine with Windows 11. Anyways, this issue has been a thorn in my side for years. I CAN’T stand when you are browsing files through windows explorer and if you have a folder full of just audio tracks(.mp3, .wav, etc) then windows will automatically set the folder properties as “Music” - which means it shows you the track #, artist and other music related metadata it thinks you want to see. I want all my folders to have their properties set as “General Items” by default but not sure it’s even possible.
I absolutely cannot stand this and I’m determined to hopefully figure out how to turn it off - or what I’m doing wrong. If anyone knows what I’m even talking about or have any input I would greatly appreciate it 🙏

The procedure elaborated here should do the trick: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/set-default-folder-view-windows

Thanks friend. I’ll give this a go tonight. I feel like I tried a lot of these steps last night to no avail but maybe just user error. If I could delete the “music” view property template altogether I’d be a happy dude.

It isn’t complicated, just too many ifs to give a brief answer here.
