Windows Explorer Defaults

[Guest]

Hello,

the presentation of a file item in a directory always defaults to "Icons" in
the "View" menue. I prefer "Details". Can I get the default changed?

Thanks

Explorer|View|Details Then Explorer|Tools|Folder Options|View, then "Apply
To All Folders". Depending on your likings, you may also need to check
"Remember each folder's view settings"

Thanks. However the subject procedure doen't stop win Xp Pro Explorer from
picking the "Icons" view as the default, say on adding a new folder.
