How do I change the default View to List? I don't care for Icons at
all and would like to have the List option as the default.

Best regards,

George Lutz
 
George,

1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Click View > List
3. Tools > Folder Options > View > "Apply to All Folders"

If the settings are not remembered, try Kelly's fix:
Increase Folder View Options Limit: (Line 2):

Related question. I prefer the "details" view, but there are a few folders
that I want to be other than the default. Since *most* folders should show
as details, I applied this to All Folders, but when I went back to the ones
I wanted to be different and changed them, the settings on them don't always
stick. I'm fairly sure this worked in Win2K, but is it different now? Will
Kelly's fix do it for this situation, too?

Thanks!
 
1. Open Explorer
2. Set the folder view to your preference
3. Choose Tools, Options, View tab
- Uncheck 'Remember each Folders Settings' (approx 6th from the bottom)
- Click Apply to all folders.
- Answer "yes"

After changing that I also found that Office XP remembered view changes.
