The default view depends on how you opened the folder and the settings at a higher level folder. If things get confused, sometimes it's best to just wipe out all the settings then start over. To erase all the .DS_Store files, use a tool such as OnyX from your admin account. Then open the top-level of the HD itself (double-click on the HD icon on your desktop). Set it up. Close it. Then open your home folder (shift-cmd-H), set it up, then close it,..
