how to make folders in Irfanview open in list format

[Texchanchan]

When I open a folder in Irfanview, it shows the contents as extra-large icons. I want Irfanview to always open the contents of a folder in list view. I have looked and looked in the settings and done many online searches and can't figure out how to do this.

You can set your option in the File Open dialogue
