Details view without thumbnails? But still have them everywhere el

I suppose this is both a question and a suggestion.

I would like to have the regular old look of the Details view without the
thumbnails. But I would still like to have the thumbs in just about every
other place that isnt set to Details. I know about "Always show icons, never
thumbnails" in Folder Options but that seems to be an either/or setting. I
really dont see the value in 16x16 thumbs. Especially when it takes alot
longer to open a directory with alot of pictures, not to mention avi's. They
take even longer.

Is there a way around this?
Also does anyone actually find the 16x16 thumbs to be usefull? Just curious.

So why is there an option for a suggestion? Anyway, Ive lost my ffedback icon
on my desktop. I figure it was just a shortcut and tried to find it on the
system. Can anyone tell me where it is? Or maybe just post the address that
it points to?

You recreate it. Make a new icon and point it to
%SystemRoot%\system32\mshta.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\feedback.hta
You will not have the blue icon, but that doesn't matter.

Or, for just a suggestion,
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvist...s/default.mspx

If you just want the bug reporter, get it from
http://windowsbeta.microsoft.com/vis...&build=0&sku=0
