Getting every window view to "details"

[Phil James]

I've followed many suggestions to change the view in "all" windows to show
the full details of the file instead of the icons, yet nearly every day some
window comes up with the icon view and I have to change it individually.
Where can I set the "view" parameter for ALL windows -- throughout Windows
XP and all the programs running on it -- so they all show details?

Thanks...

Phil
