How do I customize all my folders to default to "details" view ?

[Dtway]

Colleagues,

I'd like to customize my Views so my folders all default
to the "details" view without having to change each one
individually. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi,

You may download and apply the following edit:

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.
