re: How to fix "Details" as the default in Windows Explorer XP Pro

One more trick that helped me when trying to get details view as the default on all folders:
>>Set the current folder to details view (and any other options you want)
>>Uncheck the option in Tools|Folder Options|View that says 'Remember each folder's view settings' before using 'Apply to All Folders'. I _think_ that this lets the settings you are trying to 'Apply to All Folders' override any existing settings that are considered 'remembered'. It worked for me... This might not be the right option if you are trying to get different types of details views for different folders, though.
