How do I set File Manager default view in 16.04

  • 772

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04. This is probably a simple question, but for some reason, I can't figure out how to change the default view in File Manager to list. I tried one of the other posts, "File manager doesn't remember list preferences," but I didn't see any way to get into Preferences when I'm in File Manager. Can someone fill me in on how to do this? Thanks.
