change default display

Question

Hello everyone!

I just want to ask you how to make Windows Explorer display icons in "List" view instead of in Tiles or Thumbnails view. I think there’s just something to change in the registry and then it will be done.

If someone does something right, imitate them. And when someone does something wrong, look within yourself to see how you are imitating them. (Confucius)

lol no no you especially don’t need to touch anything in your control panel. You simply go to your workstation and in the tabs at the top you select the blue square all the way to the right. There you click on it and select what you’re interested in and there you go.

It's even simpler than that.  When you open a window, you click on VIEW and choose Thumbnails, List, Icons ...  QED

the little blue square I'm talking about is the thumbnail of the display, so I don’t really see where it's easier. well.....

Ooh no! It's so cool, guys, thank you very much. And to think I was already considering the registry. What I almost did doesn't match my signature.

how can we permanently change the display

what's happening right now:
Every time I open a new explorer, it shows small icons on the right side

what I would like is,
Every time I open a new explorer, it shows lists on the right side instead.

Hello,
I looked at the answers and it didn't convince me. I don't know about you, but what I wanted was to display the contents of my folders in list view by default. And I found out how to do it:
you go to the view panel, folder options, and check "Remember display settings."
There you go!

Great! This is exactly what I was looking for, to set the desired layout by default without constantly going into the display... Thanks for the help!
