Note that it says "new folders".

I believe that Nautilus remembers your view preferences on a per-folder
basis. Changing the option you changed should make that the default for
any folder you've not opened before. But all the ones you have opened
before you'll have to manually switch view for. After that Nautilus
should remember the change. At least that's what I think is going on.
