Why does Windows Explorer change the Display View Automatically

I've noticed this, more so if there is an image, audio, or video file in the
directory, where Vista likes to automatically change the default view for the
folder to Large Icons even though it was universally set for the entire
computer (Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> Apply to Folders).



I would like it to retain a similar setup to XP where ALL folders,
regardless of what they have on it, are in Details display view, with Name,
Size, Type and Date Modified. I set it that way for all folders but it still
does not replicate for folders of the above type...
