Yes i know that folders will default to whatever you have set them as. I just wanted to know if there was a setting somewhere to always view as a list. In previous OS’s there was an option in the view menu that was something like, “always view as…” or something like that. Which is handy. Most all the folders I use are now defaulted to list b/c i have done them manually, but new folders i create or are created for me via programs are created icon view. It’s not that big of a deal, but i just didn’t know if I had missed something.
