Gotta turn off "remember each folders view settings" before you select list!

OP
that worked. Thanks!!
Also, if you want to make all your folders to look the same: in the folder options: "view tab" choose: "like current folders". That makes all of your folders to look like the current one.

OP
jerry, ok that didnt work. after i closed explorer and then opened it again, everything was back to big icons. so i tried unchecing remember... and then listed and then re checked remember. still doesnt work. defaults back to big icons.
andy, i thought that was how i did it last time, but that button is grayed out. this is very annoying

nevermind, i just figured it out. i found the 'folder option' by clicking tools in explorer and the button wasnt grayed out. i was looking at folder option in Control Panel and that ons is grayed out. feeling pretty stupid now.
