Default Windows XP: View Details and ATTRIBUTES column Permanent in Explor

Hi Guys.
Is there a way with Windows XP (Pro) to make the ATTRIBUTES column in the
View Details view of Windows Explorer, permanent ?

I have found a registry modification for Windows 98SE but it does not work
with Windows XP.

Thanks

Tools Folder Options View (tab)

Click Apply to All Folders

Hi Michael.
Thanks for your post.

I have tried this and it didn't work permanently. More over, what I am
trying to achieve is that when I select VIEW DETAILS, I want the ATTRIBUTES
column to be permanently displayed as well as the existing information.

I normally (and prefer) to view my files in LIST view. When I wish more
information and then select VIEW DETAILS, that is when I want to see the
ATTRIBUTES column.

Thanks

Peter

By default all folders follow how it is set on the Windows Explorer page not
in any one folder

The following information is distilled from posts by David Candy:
=
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...xp.customize/=
msg/69868b9b967f8445

Do all of the following, in the order listed, and see if your preferred =
view sticks.

1)
Increase Folder View Options Limit: (Line 2)=20
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
2)
Open Regedit and delete the following two keys:
=
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\Str=
eamMRU"
=
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\Str=
eams"

3)
Log off and log back on. "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\...\Streams" =
should be recreated with a subkey named "Desktop"

4)
Open 'My Documents', view details, add the attributes column (& any =
other mods you want, i.e. Status Bar), then switch to list view.

5)
from the menu bar in the 'My Documents' window: Tools - Folder =
Options - View tab - click 'Apply to All Folders'

6)
Check "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\...\Streams" again. It should now =
have a binary value named 'Settings' and a new subkey named 'Defaults'. =
If you look in 'Defaults', you should see a value named =
"{F3364BA0-65B9-11CE-A9BA-00AA004AE837}"

Your folders should now open in list view and have the attributes =
column showing when you switch to details. Bear in mind if you close a =
folder with a different view applied, that view will be saved. If you =
want the folder to reopen in list view, regardless of how you closed it, =
navigate to:
=
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\Exp=
lorer"
and change "NoSaveSettings" to 1.

Good Luck,
Keith
