View menu

[Jeanne]

I prefer the list mode for viewing the contents of all
folders.

Is there any way to set this as the default?

I have checked the "remember each folder's view settings"
and the set all folders to this view but when I restart
the computer all folders show icons.

Thanks.

Open a folder in list mode, then from windows explorer's tools menu, select
folder options|view tab and select apply to all folders.

I've already done that but the setting doesn't stay as
list mode.

Jeanne,
This may help. Download and apply the edit. And then reset the folder views
according to your choice.

Increase folder view size limit to 8000 (line 2, left column)

*Hi Anando,

That is what I've already done and it doesn't work.
