1. Set a default folder template that you want to have all Windows Explorer folders to use.
NOTE: You can choose between having the General Items, Documents, Pictures, Music, or Video templates as the default folder template for all folders.
2. Now make any other changes to the folder view settings of a folder in Windows Explorer to how you want it to be displayed, then apply it to all folders. Since all folders have the same template from step 1, they will be applied to all of your folders to have the same folder view.

Go ahead a choose any folder and set it up the way you like:
+ click VIEW to choose icons, details, sort by, group by, etc.
+ VIEW > CHOOSE DETAILS to select or deselect display details
Once you have everything the way you want it:
+ click TOOLS > FOLDER OPTIONS > VIEW tab > APPLY TO FOLDERS
= once you click YES to confirm, this will make all folders use the same view. You can also change other details (extensions, system files, thumbnails, etc) before clicking APPLY TO FOLDERS.
Note: This will override ALL previous settings, but any settings applied on a particular folder after this time will override this default.
Hope this helps.
