I think this is a Windows System issue, if I think About it, this is the
same for most folders.

Not easy through VBA. You can use VBA to display the FileNew dialog, but
the
selection of icons/list/details is not one of the form's arguments. Nor
can
you work-around with SendKeys: you can't get to those buttons by keyboard
alone, either -- those buttons aren't part of the dialog's tab order.

File | New always defaults to Large Icons. It may be possible to change
this
via VBA, but it is not possible through the UI. Since this is going to be
a
VBA issue, you might be more likely to get the answer you need if you
post
in one of the word.vba NGs.

OK, Now I have set up my templates in a directory to be shared by
others.
This is fine at the moment because there are only a few but its a bit
messy
in large icons mode.

When I choose File | New | Templates On My Computer, you get the
General
Tab
with the templates in it, which is OK, but it allways comes up in Large
icons Mode, I want it to come up in Details Mode by default.

How can I acheive this.
