How can I get my folders to display the Detail view as default? I want to see file size and date, not a bunch of icons.

Go to My Computer. Set the view the way you want it.

Click Tools>Folder Option>View> and click Like Current Folder.

In Windows Explorer:

View menu | set to Details view

Tools menu | Folder Options | View Tab - Under Advanced settings, make sure the box next to "Remember each folder's view settings" is checked; Under Folder Views, click the button labeled "Like Current Folder" Be advised, this also affects ALL folders to include the Control Panel and Printers folder view settings which normally show up as icons.

If this doesn't work, there may be a Group Policy set at the domain level preventing this setting from being changed.
