Changing the default display set up?

[chyronn]

is there a way of making XP display custom windows configurations, for example changing the icon view from Tiles to Icons or any other preferences? i've tried regshot but that doesn't track any known changes.

The key you want for explorer views is...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Display detail on windows explorer

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams]

"Settings"=hex:09,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,77,7e,13,73,35,cf,11,ae,\

69,08,00,2b,2e,12,62,04,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,43,00,00,00

thank you. i'll try it

Update: i compared my default reg value with one that had the explorer view set to Tiles and i didn't see any change in values. can you tell me how you came by this reg entry?
