XP Folder Problems

I don't know why but for like the last few weeks (I just didn't bother to post about it) when I browse folders and stuff, all the items are not listed by name, they are reversed.

EXAMPLE:
Folder should list as A-Z but it lists as Z-A... why? ALL folders are effected.

Just right click in the whitespace > arrange icons by > name.

That should reverse the order.

Yea well that is what I do now, but I have to do it for EVERY folder... isn't there a way to do it so it affects all folders?

I believe if you do as Force said in one folder, then go to tools, folder options, and on one of the tabs select Apply These Settings to all folders it will become universal. Although if you have customized different folders then that will all be lost and they will be like the one you are looking at.
