Default XP Explorer

In XP, when you open a folder to view, you can click View, then choose from Thumbnails, Tiles, Icons, List, Details.

I have loads of music stored in one main folder, with sub-folders for artist. I have all folders showing List, but every so often they return to standard tiles which is not easy to navigate.

When this happens, everytime I click on a sub-folder I have not used for a while, I have to change the view before looking for what I want.

Is there no quick way to change the folder view, and propogate this choice to sub-folders too? IF there is, I cannot find it. Maybe it could be done through the registry?

I am not keen on indexing music players - I prefer to use Winamp, and choose music from my directory.

Thanks, but that just applies it globally and not just to the sub-directories.
