How do I make files show details instead of thumbnails? - Tilted Forum Project - TFP - Sexuality, Philosophy and Political Discussion

This has bothered me for some time with Windows XP. I hate having my file contents shown to me as thumbnails. I like the details view. I know how to make each folder display as details (View > Details) but how do I make it so ALL of my folders are set to details as a default? I can't figure it out and it bothers me to have to change every file manually. I imagine it's something simple that I've overlooked, but I'm swallowing my pride and asking for help.

Thank you in advance.

Setup the first folder the way you like it, the in Windows Explorer click Tools>Folder Options then select the View tab and click the Apply to All Folders button.
