Is it possible to automatically standardize all folders in Windows XP to
open pictures as lists, rather than as thumbnails?

Makes for easier manipulation of the pictures.

Open a folder | Choose a View | Click Tools > Folder Options
On View tab | Click "Apply to all folders" | Click Yes | Click OK
Close the folder
 
Great!

Thank you!

Now if I change a given folder to thumbnails and then close the folder -- it
will open the next time as thumbnails -- right?

Yes but to apply the view to all folders, you have to click "Apply to all folders" in
Folder Options\View again.
 
Thanks again.

If I just want to change all the subfolders in a given folder, but not all
the folders on the computer, to List how do I do that?

Say I want all the subfolders in My Documents to display in List mode -- but
not all the subfolders on the computer.

From a post by Keith Miller :

I've written a script that will apply all the view customizations you can set to all
of a folder's
subfolders. Right-click the link below & save to your computer. The zip file
contains a readme
file & the script itself.

http://mysite.verizon.net/res18hr7/FVM3.zip

You can select a folder & configure its view settings, then those are set to be
inherited by all
subfolders (you have the option of saving or wiping out current saved views) . You
can set a
default for My Pics, another for My Music, and then a more generic default for My
Computer. The
inheritance settings are separate from the folder view itself -- for example, you
can set a
non-grouped view to be the default inheritance for My Computer, then return My
Computer to its
standard 'group by type' layout after running the script without affecting the
default view you have
set.

Brilliant!
