Howdy Joris!
Is it possible to set a group policy to set the folder view for the explorer
to "Detail".
I searched the internet but no one can tell me if this is really possible.
This is not possible in native Group Policy. You will have to create a
custom user profile, set the explorer view to "Detail" and roll the
profile out to the users.
If you are comfortable with a logon-script solution you might want to
have a look at the .reg-files Mark Heitbrink provides on his site. You
can copy the .reg-files to a network location and create a startup
script with the command "regedit /s \\server\share\file.reg".
See

[german!] at the bottom of the page. The .reg-files for Windows 2000, XP
and Windows Server are located there.
cheers,
Florian
