When I would first install Windows XP, all I had to do was open Explorer, change the view to "List", and then all subfolders would open as "List" also. Opening folders on the desktop or through My Computer would continue as "Tiles", which was how I liked it.
Now after clean install of slipstreamed SP2, it doesn't work like that. If I change the root folder to "List", the rest of the folders still stay in "Tiles" mode. There is an option to apply changes to all folders, but doing this sets My Computer and folders on the desktop to "List" also, when I want them to stay as "Tiles". I am not going to go through every single folder and subfolder to make them "Tiles"....In fact, that's not enough anyway, because I want the default view for making new folders in My Computer or the desktop to remain "Tiles", while remaining "List" if accessed through Windows Explorer shortcut.
