Hi @Filip-2434 ,

I am not 100% sure if the "folder view icons setting" is a registry based setting.

Maybe this is worth a try:

  • Set the folder view icons setting to something you don't want (for instance "Details")

  • Export the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

  • Set the folder view icons setting to something you want (for instance "Large Icons")

  • Export the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

  • Compare the reg files for changes.

With this result you can update the registry via PowerShell cmdlet Set-ItemProperty
