I've clicked "detail" on the "view" menu of many programs but I still get
file lists coming up showing icons instead of "detail." How do I make the
change so every program shows files the way I want them?

In Windows Explorer select Tools, Folder Options, View, Apply to All
Folders.

Gerry...

I've done that before and it doesn't work. I just did it again and it
doesn't work. If I do "start," "search," and a partial file name the list
that comes up is in the "tile" view, not the "detail" view -- and some other
things I've done do the same. So it doesn't reach "all" folders, and that's
my desire.

Any other ideas?

Thanks! That's a good site to know about. I don't feel comfortable messing
with the Registry, so I guess I'll live with what I've got. But I'm really
glad to know about that site!
