My C: folder type is set to Music, I guess, as it shows Artist etc
columns.
How can I change it to All Types, or Documents?
I tried the tutorial, setting it first to NotSpecified and rebooting -
no change, then Documents and rebooting -- still no change.
There is no Customize option on C: or C:\Windows, so, according to the
Tutorial, I changed C:\Users.  C:\Users changed but not C: or
C:\Windows.

Hello Dougham,

Method Two in this tutorial will show you how to reset the folder view
settings so that Vista will use the "All Items" folder template for all
Windows Explorer windows.

Hope this helps,

Nice link... it's incredible that you have to go through that much
pain to get Vista to do something that was automatic in previous
versions of the OS. Microsoft really has it's head up it's butt on
these dumbed down, automatic Vista changes.

Agreed Bob. It is a lot to do, so I had made a REG download at that link
to make it easy. I hope it is sorted out for you now.
