I want mine to open in Details view every time, but it always opens in

While explorer is in the "My Computer" folder, set the View to your chosen style, then open My Computer, Tools menu, Options, View
tab, and click the button to make all folders the same.

Just done this again for the umpteenth time, but still no joy.

Is there another way in WinXP Home?
