[John]

I like to see all my file views in "detail". do I have to
go to each file and change the view?

Here's what you do John. Display the folder you want to use as a template.
Go to Tools|Folder options|view and select apply to all folders. There you
go.

While you are changing the view options, click "MAKE THIS
DEFAULT FOR ALL FOLDERS"

Hi,

Windows remembers 400 folder settings. When that number is reached some
settings aren't retained any longer. You can change this to 8000 by adding
this edit to the registry.

Run this edit, then reset your preferred folder options:

Increase Folder View Options Limit: (Line 2)

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.

Windows Explorer/View/[Select Accordingly]. Then Tools/Folder
Options/View/Apply to All Folders.
