Default Re: Setting multiple olders to the same set of Column Details

I've written a couple of scripts for this.

The first will wipe out all saved views, up the limit for saved views, then allow you to define a view for a folder an apply it to all its subfolders. The link is:

The second script preserves existing saved views and only modifies the folder(s) and subfolders you select. That link is:

http://mysite.verizon.net/res18hr7/FVM2.zip

Good Luck,
Keith
