Folders become document sets after uploading via explorer window

Hi All,

I have the following problem:

In the library there are some content types, among which there is a custom document set. Recently we noticed that when users upload folders using explorer window or "Upload many documents" they become "half" document sets. By that "half" I mean that their content type is set to the custom doc set type, and their properties form has all the custom set fields. They lack the home page just like when you just change folder to doc set without updating ProgID.

The main consequence for me is that in those folders you can't create document sets. Also using explorer window is crucial for the end users.

I tried playing with powershell and UniqueContentTypeOrder property, but it turns out it doesn't and can't contain the Folder content type.

When I created another library in the same site and added the same content types, the problem didn't occur. The only difference I could find when querying those 2 libraries with powershell was that in the faulty one, the custom doc set was listed before the folder type in $list.ContentTypes , so it was sth. like this:

Good Library:

Some Content type 1

Some Content type 2

Folder

Custom doc set

Faulty Library:

Some Content type 1

Some Content type 2

Custom doc set

Folder

The library is in a production environment and contains many files and sets.

Any help would be appreciated.

WW
