Not sure if you can do what you are trying to do with windows by default since I havn't cared enough to do try it myself but... I know that you can either:

a) Change the icon to static so that it doesn't show a preview of the picture/video by going into folder options > view > check the "Always show icons/thumbnails" if you are just trying to hide lewd icons

b) You can install a third party "file explorer" and get ur view that way by downloading and installing something like Explorer++

Edit: There is also a third option but it won't make it default though. It will just apply the settings to the folders that are like that folder. For example, if you are in a folder full of pictures and you view by list, any other folder that has pictures will also be in list format. The way to do that is:

1. Open a folder and make changes as you like.

2. Press Alt to display the menu bar. Click Tools -> Folder options.

3. Click View tab.

4. Press the "Apply to folders" button.

5. Click Apply and click OK.

Edit 2: Whoops, Pokoko already suggested what I edited before I pressed submit but yea, its about the samething although a bit wonky

Organize > Folder and search options > view

There should be a button that lets you apply to all folders of the same type. It's still going to depend a lot of your Library folder settings. For instance, click Explorer and it will show your libraries, then Left click > Properties and you can optimize them all for Documents or General Items.

I tried what you guys suggested and looks like it worked! I ran CCleaner and all and restarted the computer after clicking on that Apply To Folders option on pretty much every folder I regularily open, and after it booted all folders showed files as List.

I feel like I can do stuff at half the time it used to take me before. :D Thank you guys so much. :D
