I'm connecting a Samsung GS4 phone to Windows 7 using USB. By default the SGS4 uses MTP for the USB connection. Windows apparently thinks any device using MTP is a media player and only contains media files.
I want the Explorer Window to use the normal Windows Explorer details view, but instead I get columns for "Artist", "Track", etc, and I do not get the columns that I want (like file dates). I can manually reconfigure the columns, but that gets pretty tedious repeating for every folder in a phone's file system.
Is there a way to globally disable the "media type" view and columns, and always have Windows Explorer use the normal file column headings?

Run the following in a .REG file and you will get detailed view for all your MTP drives and more.
