## What it is
WinSetView is a portable Windows utility that globally sets File Explorer default folder views, such as Details view with specific column headings across all folders. It provides a GUI to configure and apply Explorer view settings on Windows 7 through 11.

## Use cases
- set all Explorer folders to Details view with chosen columns
- make folder view defaults apply globally on Windows 11
- configure Explorer views on new computers from a flash drive
- reset File Explorer folder views to defaults
- apply consistent column headings across all folders

## When to choose
- you want a consistent default folder view across all Explorer folders
- you need a portable tool to configure views on multiple machines
- you're tired of Windows forgetting your preferred folder views

## When to avoid
- you're on macOS or Linux
- you only need per-folder view tweaks done manually
- you need scripting/automation rather than a GUI tool
