Applying floder properties to all subfolders

Win XP + SP2

I have a folder containing images and subfolders. I've just discovered View
as Filmstrip which is quite handy.

I've tried Win Explorer > view > Customise this folder > Customise > Picture
> Apply to subfolders

The subfolder properties are not changed to view as picture or filmstrip.
It's still a manual task to view each folder as filmstrip. How do I apply
such an option down through a chain of sub-folders?

Stephen,
In Windows Explorer, after setting a folder as a 'Filmstrip', click Tools >
Folder Options > View, click 'Apply to all folders', click OK, close &
reopen Windows Explorer. This applies to all folders. I don't think you can
limit it to just picture folders unless you manually change each folder.

I only want to apply the property to subfolders. I've got a folder (with
subfolders) full of images. It would be nice to set the entire tree from the
main folder down as filmstrip, but not all folders in the file system.
