Hi All I've just completed a clean re-install of my XP Home operating system. I am very pleased with myself and the results. Myself for achieving a first and the results for seemingly solving most of the little irritations I was getting. However I have one niggle. When I open a drive or folder the view is in Tile mode whereas I prefer Detail. I know how to go to View/Detail but I'm wearing my finger out. There is a way of doing a blanket change for the whole system but I can't work it out. Can someone point me in the right direction please. Many thanks Roger
