windows explorer 'View As - gone wonky (WME)

[e4ubrian]

All the folders in my directory have defaulted to the 'Thumbnails' view whereas before I chose to have the 'Details' view'

I don't want to have to go thru every single folder & its sub folders and put this option back again

How can I do this in one fell stroke?

I do not want to use 'Restore Defaults' in Folder Options as this will wipe out all my other Folder configurations eg background images and templates

'Customise This Folder' doesn't do the business - I've tried

I tried manually altering each folder but some of them went back to thumbnails view Help pajamahead
