Windows 7 explorer doesn't use details view in folders with media

Question

I use details as my default folder view, which works fine except for folders that only contain media files like photos or mp3. In these cases the view changes in order to show thumbnails etc. (which I also disabled).

How can I prevent this view switch and tell the explorer to stick to details view.

Take a look at the fourth post in this forum thread. It's for Vista but I believe it works in W 7 too.
