How to make Download dialog show "Details" view?

I recently configured my files and folders to show the "Details" view, using the tutorial, "Windows Explorer Folder View settings":

So far, everything looks fine in Windows Explorer. (I obviously haven't checked every one of hundreds of folders :))

However, if I do a download, and click "Save", the download dialog has the view setting "Icons". All sub-directories also have the setting "Icons" :(

Is there a way to universally change *every* folder to have "Details" as the view option in *every" dialog box?

Here's some more info on the folder properties.

A) In Windows Explorer, if I click on any personal folder, such as "Documents". Right-click. Select "Properties".

In the "Customize" tab, the template is "Documents", and "Apply to subfolders" is checked.

Open any sub-folder, or sub-sub-folder. All entries are correct. They all show the "Details" view. This is all fine.

-----------------------------

B) However, when I am downloading a file, the folders show the "Small icons" view, rather than the "Details" view.

For example, in the downloads dialog, click on the "Documents" personal folder. Right-click. Select "Properties".

In the "Customize" tab, the template is "Documents", and "Apply to subfolders" is checked.

However, open any sub-folder. Folders are shown in three columns. If I click "Views", I see "Small icons".

Note that FILES ARE NOT SHOWN.

-----------------------------

C) In the downloads dialog, click on the "Downloads" personal folder. Right-click. Select "Properties".

Everything is identical to B, but now FILES ARE SHOWN.

-----------------------------

It seems to me that registry values used by Windows Explorer and the downloads dialog box are different. :)
