In Windows Explorer, have you tried...
- Arrange the view as desired
- From menu, Tools, Folder Options, View, Apply to All Folders.

I did what was suggested many times but unfortunately it did not work to stay as list. I never did it from the computer folder but when I did now the apply to folders is still grayed out??
If this issue is important to you (and it is to me), you can get xPlorer2 from zabkat.com. You set up xPlorer2 as you wish and then save the settings. It will open up the same way and in the same spot on the desktop every time you use it. I use it all the time and have done for years. Works in Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.
I will look into that John. Does that mean my windows explorer is messed up ?

No, Merely that Windows Explorer does not do as good a job as xPlorer2.
thank you all
