Setting "List" as the default folder view

[Guest]

I have read just about everywhere I know where to look, but as a novice XP
user I can't seem to figure out how to set the "list" view as the default for
all of my folders. I am sure it's an easy fix, but can someone help me out?

Open Explorer
Set it to list view
Select Tools - Folder Options from the menu bar
On the View tab click "Apply to all Folders"

I have been fooling around with the options in "folder options-view" for so
long and couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting what I needed...all the
time it was right in front of my nose!

Many thanks!

Many thanks Mark! I knew it had to be something pretty simple, but I
couldn't seem to figure out which options to enable in the "folder
options-view" tab.

Thanks!
