Viewing Files in Explorer

Is it possible to set an option to view files as a list by default, because every time I start the computer it shows them as icons. My OS is XP Professional.
Thanks

Try this method:

After setting up one folder's view (list) as you want it, go to Tools > Folder Options > View tab > Advanced settings > Make sure there is a check by 'Remember each folder's view settings' > Click on the "Apply to all folders" button > Apply/OK and see if that solves the problem.

Just to mention that Windows has a mind of it's own at times, and the default settings may change without warning. At least you know a method to change it back again.
