    how can i make the 'details' view-mode the default?

    is there a way of making the 'details' view-mode to be the default view in win XP ?

    as it is now, windows decides and chooses which view i should be using (from thumbnails, tiles, icons, list, details) but i would really like to set it so it always shows 'details'

    thanx!

    Go into a folder. Doesn't matter which one.

    Set the view to 'Details', then go Tools>Folder Options>View Tab>Apply To All Folders.

    And all folders throughout Windows will display as that selected view

    is there any way to have this setting on in all cases except the picture folders?

    any folders that will be used for storing pictures:
    right click on folder>properties>customize>
    change "What kind of folder do you want" to pictures(many files)
