The first thing you want to do is open up a folder, any folder for that matter. I decided to go with the My Documents folder. Once the folder is open, click on the View button in the menu bar, then select the view you would like to use. I prefer the list view, but you can select whichever one you want.

Now that you have changed the view, click the Tools button in the menu bar. In the drop down menu, select Folder Options.

A window should pop up, and you should select the View tab. Once the View tab is open, click Apply to all Folders. This will apply these settings to all of the folders on your computer.
