Change the File View

Some people find it very annoying to see icons or tiles when they search for files in Windows Explorer or My Documents; they would prefer to see a detailed list of the files in a particular folder. Sure, you can change to the detail view as needed, but wouldn't it be better to have your favorite view come up every time, and simply change to the other views as necessary?
