Mr.Clean

I am making the root folder show with Details in Explorer, then I select
Tools->Folder Options->View and click the Apply To All Folders button
and Yes to the Folder Views question dialog.

However, none of the folders retain this setting. Is there a registry
tweak to accomplish this?

I have already tried the following reg fix with no success:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell]
"BagMRU Size"=dword:00001f40

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam]
"BagMRU Size"=dword:00001f40

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
\Explorer]
"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000
 
Try this:

// set detailed view for folders
// (byte number five is for view type 4 = details, 1 = list ...)
// if value is not present the default view (symbols) is used
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams]
"Settings"=hex:08,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,77,7e,13,73,35,cf,11,ae,\
69,08,00,2b,2e,12,62,04,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,43,00,00,00

// delete individual folderview settings
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags]

// set detailed view for folders

Well, that didn't work either, it goes back to icon view EVEN if I set
it to details and merge the reg info above!

'Reset all folders' worked.
