How do I make WinXP shows icons instead of tiles in folder?

[Tseng]

In WinXP, the default view for all folder is tiles. Is there a way to amek ALL folders to show icons instead of tiles?

TIA

Change the folder to the way you want it.

Select Tools->Folder Options, then click on the View tab. Uncheck "Remember each folder's view settings", then click the Apply to all folders button.

WinXP keeps forgetting my settings. For example, I want the Control Panel to be shown as "icons," but it keeps going back to "List" after a while. Having similar problems with the Recyle Bin (List, should be Detailed) and Save File pannel (Tiles, should be List). Not a huge deal, but it's annoying to want different settings for different windows, and they're all always wrong. LOL.

Any ideas?

In your case you should check "Remember each folder's view settings".
