default to DETAILS view instead of LIST in FILE > OPEN applet

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Whenever I open or save a file i always see the default "view" is set
to "List". I can change it by selecting the "view menu" and I can
change it to: Thumbnails, Tiles, Icon, List, Details etc.

I prefer to set a system wide preference to ALWAYS have the default
view be "Details".

How can I do this?
