File Views in Windows Explorer

[Jerry]

Ok, I prefer that the list view when I open a folder in Windows. Window defaults to one of the icon views. So EVERY folder I open for the first time I find myself pulling down the view menu and clicking on list.

Is there anyway to set a system preference for
all folders to default to list view?

Yeah, just open up an explorer window, set things up the way you like them then go to tools->folder options, view tab, and click like current folder.

It works for changing views, like to list, not just the stuff in the folder options menu.

[Jerry]

Thanks. You know I went to tools and folder options before but missed that particular button.
Some sort of HCI thing going on.

Ha ha ha!  Did it end up being like that day you made me use MS Word in class?
