iTunes opening windows as 'Small Icons' but want 'List' - how ?

I can see loads of advice on the forum but not sure which to follow to get the fix I need.

Using iTunes 7.7 if I 'Add file to Library' the window opens listing all files in the 'Small Icons' View type, which orders the files horizontally. I want it to open as a 'List' view type so that all files are ordered vertically. If I open the same folder in Explorer it IS opened as a 'List' View type... Anyone know if this is being caused by iTunes or Vista and what the solution is ?

It's just so damn annoying trying to find a file in a list that is displayed horizontaly rather than vertically
Thanks.

In iTunes, click on the View button, and select from the many choices.

iTunes is up to version 8 now.

iTunes 'View' options don't control how the 'File/Add File to Library' window looks.

I think it must be hard-coded into iTunes or a setting in Vista ?
