Hello,

the presentation of a file item in a directory always defaults to "Icons" in
the "View" menue.  I prefer "Details".  Can I get the default changed?

Thanks

Explorer|View|Details Then Explorer|Tools|Folder Options|View, then "Apply
To All Folders". Depending on your likings, you may also need to check
"Remember each folder's view settings"

picking the "Icons" view as the default, say on adding a new folder.
