Changing Default Views

[Rick Altman]

For two years, I have been at peace with my Folder views. About two months
ago, something happened and now I am at war. I prefer List view during File
operations so I can see more content before having to scroll. Some unknown
event has not only changed my default to Thumbnail view but has also foiled
my efforts to change it back. Folder Options | View | Apply to All Folders
does not live up to its name. Everytime I save files from a download, for
instance, or choose a location for an export, I must pull down the Vew Menu
and choose List, and I grow tired of that.

I'm happy to make a Registry tweak if that would be required. Any ideas on
what might be going on...?

You may need to restart your computer for the change to take effect.

Why List and not Detail?

Hope this helps.

Detail would be a second choice -- sometimes, when I'm working in a small IO
dialog, the simple List view is just right...
