My folders like to open in View=Tiles.

I like Details.

Can I make Details the default view?


Thanks

Guess every NG needs a comedian.

Will you also help?

Not a comedian - just answering what you ask.

Yes - I will also help.

If you want to know *how* to do something - go ahead and ask.

So far you have only asked two questions. I answered two. ;-)

*grin* My general advice: Always ask what you actually want answered - not
a suggestion at what you want to ask/want answered.

Close ALL windows - leave nothing opened/minimized.

Open Windows Explorer (or "My Computer").
(*note* Windows Explorer is not Internet Explorer)

Choose View --> (Whatever view you like best)
(Heck, Choose View --> Status Bar - toggle that too, look at the bottom of
the window - see which one you like best.)

Tools --> Folder Options
General Tab
(Change whatever you want here.. For example: Show Common Tasks in
Folders)

Tools --> Folder Options
View tab
(Change whatever check boxes you want here..)
THEN - Click on Apply to all Folders
Answer to the affirmative for whatever questions..

Close Windows Explorer (or My Computer)...
Open Windows Explorer (or My Computer)...
Start going through the folders - the setting stuck, eh?

That do it for you?

As far as it being 'permanent' - if you change a view - it may apply to that
particular window for good - unless you change it back. However - this
starts all your Windows Explorer/My Computer views on a level playing field.
 
Did you try to help yourself and just Google for an answer? I just put
in "Can I make Details the default view" and got about a kazillion
hits!!!
