Control Panel > Folder Options > Restore Defaults

OK, fine...but what _are_ the defaults?

I am trying to chane all to *List* except for some, where I want *details*
for these (and their subfolders*

TIA

I think the default is either Tiles or Icons. To set as List, open an
Explorer window such as My Computer, set things up the exact way you want
them (List, Status Bar, etc.) and then go to Folder Options and use the
"Apply to all windows" button.

This is a global setting and you can't globally set more than one view in XP
as you can in Vista.
