Is there any way to erase all of the saved detail views for every
folder that I've customized, just so I can start fresh.
Thanks.

Yes there is. I'm sure there are tools out there, but I can't think of any. The quickest and easiest way is to delete a key in the
registry.
Open Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
Now delete these subkeys from it:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags
If you want to reset the status of the task pane items (the things in the left bar which you can expand or contract) for special
folders like the Recycle Bin, My Computer, My Documents, etc. then you can also delete this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\DUIBags
You will probably have to reboot (or at least log off/on) for it to take effect-actually restarting Explorer should be sufficient
even although it's undesirable.

Open a folder first, make whatever changes you want, then...
Click Tools | Click Folder Options | Click the View tab
Or just open a folder first, then...
