Set default in File Explorer to List View in Windows 10

Here's how to change the default view for all folders of the same type (e.g. Documents)

1. First, change the layout to any folder of the Document-type to List View.
2. Then open the "Change folder and search options" (in the View tab on the explorer window), then go to the view tab there.
3. Finally choose "Apply to folders." Click Yes, and the List View will then be applied to all folders of the same type

Picture-type folders will not be affected by changes made to other folder types.
