making Win7 default to list/detail view

Thanks to a hard drive crash, I elected to recently upgrade to Win 7. I'm adapting, but one major irritant is that it defaults to thumbnails. Is there a way to make it default system wide to list/detail view instead of doing it manually directory by directory? Thanks.

Sure Rob. Open a window and set the View to how you want it.Then do this:

-Click the Organize menu button and hover over Layout
-Select Menu Bar on the flyout menu. Now the good ol' menus are back!
-Click Tools-->Folder Options...
-When the small window pops up, click the second tab, "View"
-On there is the button you need: Apply To Folders
-Click that, and all of your folders will be just like the one you're in.

Happy Navigating!

Thanks, Paul, that seems to have worked. CS5 is still using the thumbnails though; is there a way to make it comply with the rest of the system?

Strange, first time in went back into CS5 after making the change, I saw thumbnails. I shut it down, and reloaded, and now it is using list format, which is good :).

Great! Also, this codec is excellent if you want to view your RAW files right in Windows Explorer with Windows 7:

Been using it since last year with zero problems. $15, but worth it to me... I don't need Adobe Bridge to weed through and get rid of obvious klunker shots.

Thanks for the suggestion, Paul. I use Faststone Image viewer, http://www.faststone.org which is free and loads RAW files quickly and easily.
