Setting all files to default in "Details" view in Windows XP?

[Si]

I'd like to know if its possible to change all Windows XP
files and folders to the default setting of "Details."
Then, I would not always have to change the new "Tiles"
view to Details.

How do you do this? Please explain in simple steps, if it
is possible.
Thank you.

After selecting the Details view, from Windows Explorer, select menu Tools |
Folder options... Select View tab and clich 'Apply to All Folders' button
and OK.

HTH.

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.
