HowTo: Change the default folder view in Windows explorer

With this tip you can change how all folder display by default in Windows Explorer. Personally I like the Detailed View on most folders. The exception is a desktop folder of shortcuts where I leave it in Icon view.

1. Open Window Explorer
2. Click on any folder and set the Display View you want (drop down on the toolbar)
3. Navigate to the menu item Tools -> Folder Options
4. Select the Folder tab
5. At the top of the tab is a button that says Apply to All Folders
6. Click it and all folders will now display the view type you previously selected

Its just that simple.
