Re: Win Explorer--Question 2

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

In Windows Explorer, set the current folder to look the way you want it, then click Tools, Folder Options, the View tab, Apply to All Folders button.

I know I can set Folder Options to "remember each folder's view settings"
and I have set it to do so (but I am not at all convinced that Windows
actually remembers). Is there a way to set the default display in Windows
Explorer to "details" instead of icons? The only display I ever use is
"details," yet most folders still display with icons when I look at them
again much later.



When I need to navigate through Win Explorer to find something, the tiny bit
of information in the icon is nearly worthless. Of course, it is nice to
know that a particular file is a Word file or an Acrobat file. But so are
at least 95% of all my many files. I want at least the full name of the
file, and the date when last modified.
