How to Open a folder in "List"

[Steven]

There are some folders I would like to view in "List" or "Details"
when I open the folder. But XP opens the folder in another
view, like Thumbnails.

How can I get XP to automatically a folder in the View that I
want, rather than whatever XP's default setting is?

Thanks.
