I'd like to make some changes to my computer...

...because they are annoying me. And I don't know what I need to do to make the changes, if it's even possible.
The first annoyance is that I like viewing things in my folders with the "details" setting, but it never sticks and usually changes back to "large icons" randomly the next time I turn my computer on. It also appears to be the default setting when I create new folders.
The second annoyance is that, when the power goes out momentarily (off then on), my computer starts itself back up without any prompting from me. This has become a recent concern because of the insane amount of storms we've had in our area this year, and more than once the power has gone out again while my computer was trying to start back up. I'm really hoping that there's an option somewhere that will keep my computer from trying to start itself back up again on its own.
The third is less of an annoyance and more of a curiosity. My computer used to start up in a half of a minute or so, but after I turned off a good number of processes it now takes two to three minutes, maybe a bit longer. If it was because of a certain process, which one might it have been? Because I have no earthly idea.
Oh, yeah. I'm using Vista.
