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

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.

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.
