Windows explorer views

I would like to set My computer/WinExplorer to open up in Medium icon view by using a registry edit or group policy. I know how to change it manually but this needs to be done for hundreds of machines. The Tile view gives size of drive and how much is free for network shares and we don't want the users to see this. Any ideas.

Re: Windows explorer views

I am not sure, but can`t you export the edited registry key and import it on
the other computers?

Re: Windows explorer views

I know I wasn't clear enough. Let me clarify, I know how to change it manually from inside explorer. I do not know what registry key to edit or what policy to apply. Or if this can be done at all.
