Changing file view defaults to details, not icons

[Neil]

How can I change the default file and folders View in
Windows Explorer to be 'Details', not 'Icons' ?

The 'Apply to all folders' option under Tools>folder
options>view doesn't appear to work on network drives(at
least at our site), so I want a way to have all users
default to the 'details' view, not 'icon' view.

I understand there is a configuration option somewhere
when setting up a XP image that you can switch on. Can
anyone help ?

Similarly at this same time, how can ls' fields (i.e
Author, title etc)be added to the default view ?

Hi

View settings are limited to 400. Try the following link to increase those
settings to 8000:
