Folder view settings

Question

I have set Windows to Remember each folder's view settings, and I always change each folder's view settings to 'Details.'   However, I find that when I go back to to those folders later the view has changed to something elase, usually icons, so I have to switch the settings back to what I want.  These are files that are maintained on our network sserver, and are either Word or Adobe Acrobat (*.pdf) files.   How can I set the view settings once and for all?

Don't know if you did it like this but, this is how I do it and it stays:

1.) Open Windows Explorer or open My Computer and double click your C: drrive icon.

2.) Switch your view mode to the desired default selection (Details in your
case).

3.) Apply this setting to all folders by choosing 'Tools' menu > 'Folder
options...' > 'View' tab and click the 'Apply to All Folders' button.

Now to make them ALL stay that way:
Still in the 'View' tab, in the 'Advanced Settings:' window, scroll to near the bottom. The
third-from the-bottom check box should be 'Remember each folder's view settings'.
Check this box and click 'OK'

Works for me...
