Post subject: Change the default file-listing format from 'icons' to 'details'?
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>basics (more info?)

I'm using Windows XP Home Edn. Can someone advise on the following?

In the file managers ('Windows Explorer' and 'My Computer'), one
select (via the 'view' menu, one of five options determining the way
files are displayed and listed:

1) Thumbnails
2) Tiles
3) Icons
4) List
5) Details

The default seems to be "Icons". Is there a way to change the default
to "List" or "Details"?

Thank you,

JD

I open 'my computer' and pick the view I want, (details) and then open
tools -> folder options -> view (tab) and then 'apply to all'. Usually
works for me. But it resets all folders. Under that view tab there
is a 'remember each folders view settings', so you can change a few to
the non-default, like your 'my pictures' can have the icons.

Fantastic! Thank you, Al! I wish I'd asked here 10 years ago, now! :-7
