I want to display "LIST" not "ICONS!

[rhodges]

In my window tool options, I have gone to tools>folder options>view and checked "Remember each folder's view settings". Some time back if I remember correctly, this had pretty much of a permanent effect.

In the window options for the view, the default selection for looking at folders is "Icons". The choices are Thumbnails, tiles, Icons, List and Details. I have checked "List". Again, in the distant past, this view setting was remembered for some time if I remember correctly.

For some reason now, my view shortly defaults back to the "Icon" view. Is there a config line anywhere or some other setting that I am missing that would let me default to the "List" view?

Thanks:

I think gremlins come in at night and change the settings around to annoy. I just reset the detailed list again on my computer. Some of my folders were using other modes.

Start Windows Explorer, select My computer, select the mode (list, details, etc.) you want to use. Select Tools, Folder Options, View, and press Apply to all folders button, answer Yes. This will set all the folders to the view you select in My computer.

At least, until the gremlins visit you tonight!!!
