Switch Folder View to Details

[Drakin138]

Any ideas for the best way to have a spoken command change the Windows Explorer folder view to Details?

EDIT: The below Windows 7 Method works perfectly for Win10. Ctrl Shift 6 brings up the details view. (I used those hotkeys for a macro and didn't let them pass through)

I grabbed this from http://superuser.com/questions/185124/how-to-change-windows-explorer-view-by-keyboard

Windows 8+

CTRL + SHIFT + 1 Extra Large
CTRL + SHIFT + 2 Large Icons
CTRL + SHIFT + 3 Medium Icons
CTRL + SHIFT + 4 Small Icons
CTRL + SHIFT + 5 List
CTRL + SHIFT + 6 Details
CTRL + SHIFT + 7 Tiles
CTRL + SHIFT + 8 Content


Windows 7:

ALT (Left) + V + X = Extra large icons
ALT (Left) + V + R = Large icons
ALT (Left) + V + M = Mediom icons
ALT (Left) + V + N = Small icons
ALT (Left) + V + I = List
ALT (Left) + V + D = Details
ALT (Left) + V + S = Tiles
ALT (Left) + V + T = Content

Looks like they changed the hotkey setup in Win10. I cobbled together two workarounds, I think the hotkey method works better using the relative position of the window. What do you guys think?

I'm using Windows 10 64 bit (running VA as an administrator) and the following changes my view to details when Explorer is focused ('send commands to' is set to, 'active window'):

Press Left Ctrl+Left Shift+6 keys and hold for 0.1 seconds and release

Bingo!
