lol, it's not that there's nothing. It's just that it hasn't been figured out yet. :] And I'm looking for the tweak for Windows 8 if I wasn't specific. For XP though, it should be a bit easier. I don't know about making list view default but this registry setting makes details view default (in XP). List view should be somewhere in that vicinity: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams] "Settings"=hex:09,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,77,7e,13,73,35,cf,11,ae,\ 69,08,00,2b,2e,12,62,04,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,43,00,00,00
