How do you lock the view of a folder in XP? eg List View

[Marcos]

especially in external drives, seems every time i plug it in it chooses a random view for the folders but i want it to be permanentely set to "List View"

such a simple thing for them to get wrong

ps these new smilies are no good

[Agent]

Tools -> Folder options -> View Tab -> apply to all folders

[tigerboyce]

not sure if it applies to XP as i havnt had a chance to look but thee is an option in vista under the folder options that remembers the views when ticked

I knew there was somthing i was missing since my last re-install. Thanks Agent
