Assuming Windows Vista: open any folder in your Windows explorer and set the
way you want all your folders to look. Press ALT to make the menu bar show
up. Then take Tools - Folder Options - View tab. There is an 'Apply to
folders' button which sets this view for all your folders.
I am not sure on how easy it is to find this information, but you might be
looking in the wrong place. After all, this is a newsgroup dedicated to
Word. It has nothing to do with your question which is about your operating
system. On top of that, you don't even specify which version you are using,
making it harder for people to help you.

How do I set my computer so that all folders, subfolders, etc. open in
DETAIL
view automatically instead of SMALL ICONS? I am very tired of having to
change the view every day, every folder, etc.
Thank you for your assistance.
And, shouldn't it be easier to find this information in the system than
having to post to other uses or Microsoft staff? Just a thought.
