I need to know a means of setting the Windows Explorer
view to the details mode on opening. Can this be done?
 
Open Explorer
Click View->Details
Click Tools->Folder Options->View->Apply to All Folders (Folder view)
Press OK

Hi Jeremy,

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.
