Change Default View in Control Panel

[greek49]

How do I change the default view in Control Panel, so that when it opens, it defaults to small icons view instead of categories?
What's the registry key (optional)?

Hello greek,

The Control Panel will open to the same view it was last closed with by default.

If you like, here are some options below you could do to always have the Control Panel open in icons view.
