Answer that works in XP Saturday, February 1, 2003 at 10:45 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Why does MSFT think I want to NOT see details (1 messages posted) Set Windows Explorer's Details view as the default. XP's default Windows Explorer display uses the Large Icon view, which is devoid of meaningful information. To use the Details view as the default, open Windows Explorer and select View, Details. Next, select Tools, then select Folder Options. On the View tab, select Apply to All Folders. On Tuesday, January 21, 2003 at 12:44 pm, jay wrote: >Dalai Wrote: >Yes, it's not just you.
