WinSetView is comprised of two main files: WinSetView.exe (HTML application) and WinSetView.ps1 (PowerShell command line script) and numerous supporting files (see the Files section below for details). It does NOT modify File Explorer or add any tasks or services. WinSetView sets registry values, as discussed in various websites online, that Explorer will use to let you get the folder views set up just the way you want.
