Icons vs Details view

I posted this once before, but did not receive the info I
need:

The view of items within folders on my desktop keeps
reverting to Icon view even though I keep selecting
Details view. It just started doing this. How can I get
it to give me the view I want without constantly changing
from icons to details each time I open a folder?

I was told: Open Explorer/click "View" and select
Details. Then
Select tools/folder options/"View" tab and click "Apply
to All Folder" button/"Yes" button.

However, I don't want it to apply universally, as this
fix
does. Also, the problem is more than this.
Unfortunately, I am going
to be vague here becasue I do not remember the
windows "tweak" I had to use on my other computer.
Windows imposes some sort of a size limit on something (I
told you it was vague) that had to be changed to keep the
view from reverting. But I don't remember what tweak it
was. Does it have something to do with BagMRU Size?

If it is in 'folder' directory go to 'view' button
and select 'customize this folder...'
 
The fixes mentioned are temporary. On my other computer,
there was something I did that increased a size limit of
something, and the reversion stopped. it was one of the
standard "tweaks" of XP, but I cannot remember which one.
