Win 7 was easy to make all your folders show details view and not what windows thought you should view it as.
I can't find a way to do that in Win 8. I have googled it many times and all attempts have failed. I have changed several folders to details view only to have them revert back to what windows wants me to view them as.
I would like to do this for all my folders and libraries, which I understand may not work for libraries.
Can someone please help me. Is there a registry setting I can set to force all views to be detail view?
It's pretty much the same as Win 7, but to get to is is a little different, first open My Computer and Open the C drive and choose Detail View, then hit Options:
Then hit "Change Folder Options" and it is the same, choose "Apply to All folders"

Recently lost my Windows 8 on my main PC, had to go back to Windows 7.
Well thanks for those replies. I did do that but for some reason some folders reverted back to what windows thought to display them as. I may have not done it from my computer where it displays it just by drives. I may have done it folder by folder and could have missed one. I did it on my c: D: E: F: drives and hope that works
You may have to disable Auto-Folder Discovery.
I had to use this method to to make my W7 folder templates stick.
It worked on all of my folders, except the Recycle Bin.
