Windows 7 to make all explorer views Detailed

Question

Although I opened explorer, set it to detailed and from options clicked Apply to All Folders, some folders still show up in Large Icon mode. To my understanding those are folders with media files? How to prevent this behavior?

Answer 1

I'll answer myself

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell]
"FolderType"="NotSpecified"

did the trick

Answer 2

Possibly because each folder's settings save individually, and applying to all folders only applies to those who don't have settings already. Try use the "Reset Folders" buttons first, then applying the current view to all folders.
