Changing the default "view" of folders. Win xp

Ok this is kind of a weird question...

I was wondering how to change the default view of every folder on my computer from "Details" to "List". When you make a new folder in Win XP (not sure other versions) and open the folder.. the View button up at the top of the page says details automatically. I download a lot of music and video and the details annoys the hell out of me. I just want them listed right away. I know it is not that hard just to change the view of the files... but when you go through a lot of folders and have to change them the first time you look at them it gets kind of tedious. I hope someone knows a way to tell windows to have "list" as the default view. Would be greatly appreciated.

First, set your folders the way that you want them, in your case "List". Then under Folder Options > View > Click the button that says Apply to All Folders.

See if that sticks when you create a new folder.
