Note: Apply to all folders does not stick:
If you are using TweakUI/Uncheck Only allow Windows Classic Shell
If you want all the Folders to open the same, in Windows Explorer, set the Folder how
you wish to have it and then go to Tools, select Folder Options, View and apply to
all Folders.
Set detail view for all folders (85, left column)
