Hey!

I've been wondering this for a while now(on previous versions of windows too)... How do I change the default folder diplay setting to "Detail"? Every time I open up the explorer, I have to change the display settings to "Details", and it drives me mad (Escpecially with XP's lame icons)!!! It will stay at that setting once I set it, but as soon as I change folders, its back to the icons! Someone help me! PLEASE!!!

All things must surely have to end...

In the folder you just changed to "Details":
Tools > Folder Options > View [tab]
Click "Apply to All Folders"

Problem solved. Please check out <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/btvillarin/" target="_new">My Website</A>.
