Default View in Windows Explorer

Hi,

I set Windows Explorer Folders to view details (type, size, name, date
modified) but every time I open Windows Explorer I have to drag the panels
over to the right to view all the information.

How can I get the default view set so that it shows all the details when I
open anything in Windows Explorer? I've set folder options / view to apply
to all folders, but it doesn't open up the way I have the last
setting......even if I close the window while pressing 'ctrl.'

Thanks,

O'Really

Are you referring to the column widths? If so, right-click on the header
(name, type, etc.) and pick Size All Columns to Fit. If that doesn't go to
all folders as you open them, then go back to root C: and do the Apply to
All step.
