Get Rid Icons, use details

[David]

Hi there, I wrote the other week asking how to get rid of some of XP's
garbage in Win Explorer, i.e.. directory's on the left etc, well that's
fixed but I have upset the Rt panel as now I get Icons there instead of
details. I have repeatedly gone to My comp, win Exp, CP/Folders, etc and set
the display as req then
Folders/View/ apply to all folders , but to no avail. I have checked out all
my usual Reg hacks in HKCU\S\M\W\CV\Exp\Adv, etc, but cannot come up with
anything. So I need some help
please, how do I get rid of the icons in Explorer and get back details
permanently .
Dave

The Default for Windows XP is to remember the view settings for the 400 most
recently used folders.

Line #2 - Increase Folder View Size Limit to 8000



Set detail view for all folders (85, left column)

I fro one (or another) just wish it would work.

I am sure I set a high limit (Bags is 800, I think) My Pictures has 80
folders, but every time I open a folder thumbnails get set back to icons or
details - they just won't stick

Bags = 8000 not 800

Note: Apply to all folders does not stick:
If you are using TweakUI/Uncheck Only allow Windows Classic Shell

If you want all the Folders to open the same, in Windows Explorer, set the Folder how
you wish to have it and then go to Tools, select Folder Options, View and apply to
all Folders.
