Folder view problem in Vista

[Deadly Ferret]

I'm using Vista for the first time, and have only had one problem so far. I prefer to have Windows set up so that whenever I open a folder, it automatically has the list view. That is easily achieved by unchecking the option for each folder to remember its own settings.

I have found that option in Vista's control panel easily enough, but it isn't working! Each time I open a new folder it appears in the details view rather than list. I then manually set it to list and that particular folder then remembers. It's as though the option I'm using is doing the exact opposite of what it is supposed to, but changing it back to default doesn't make any difference. Whatever I do, folders are coming up with the details view unless I manually change them.

Any ideas please?

Open Windows Explorer, set the view you want then go to Tools - Folder Options - View - Apply to all folders

Worked for me
