I don'tknow if this is what you want but here it goes:

Windows Classic style, set all folders to look the same from the View page.
Detailed method:
A. System Performance, to eliminate Visual Effects.
1. Open the Start Menu, go to Control Panel, System, and you end up in the
System Properties dialog box. Press CTRL+TAB to move to the Advanced TAB
page.
2. Press ALT+S to activate the Performance Settings button. You get the
"Performance Options" dialog box.
