The folder auto-detection in Windows Vista drove me crazy. I like to have the details view for all folders as my default setting.
Important: Before you make any changes in the registry create a System Restore Point.
The following changes in the registry will fix the problem:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
-
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags]
-
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU]
-
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags]
-
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders]
-
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell]
-
"FolderType"="NotSpecified"
-
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell]

You need two commands to accomplish that.

C:\>assoc .txt
-
.txt=txtfile
-
-
C:\>ftype txtfile
-
txtfile=%SystemRoot%\system32\NOTEPAD.EXE %1
