is there any way to switch my default for when I open any folder to “list” format, instead of having to see the large icons all the time?
I second Checkmate’s call for assistance. I haven’t been able to work out how to do it, and whenever you change a folder name, or move a folder, every sub-folder reverts back to large icons and has to be changed again.
Set the view up the way you want it, then bring up Folder Options. Make sure “Remember each folder’s view settings” is NOT checked, then hit the “Like Current Folder” button.
That’s worked for me on 95, 98, NT, 2K, and XP.
It works.
Thank you!
