How can I change the apex 2.1 interface settings permanently ?

I like the view "details" instead of "icons"
and at least 100 displayed rows/items instead of the default 15

As far as I can tell, there's no such an option, which would allow you to set the default number of records (for all newly created reports).

However: I never used that Apex version, but ... you might check whether the following exists in yours (I would say it does): in SQL*Plus, connect to APEX_xxxxxx user (in higher, 3.2 version, its name is APEX_030200 so I suppose your user name is APEX_020100). It contains the WWV_FLOW_WORKSHEET_RPTS table which contains the DISPLAY_ROWS column. A simple UPDATE statement would modify number of records for all existing reports (or, if you include a WHERE clause, you could restrict which ones to modify (or not)):
update wwv_flow_worksheet_rpts set
  display_rows = 100
  where ...

You should save this statement for future use (or, obviously, modify that number while creating a new report).

As of modifying default view settings (i.e. details instead of icons), it is available in Apex 3.x version (once connected to Apex, you'd go to Application Builder, follow the "Developer preferences" task link and change "Set view mode" value. No idea about your version.

Littlefoot,

thanks for your reply.

I connected as SYSTEM and inspected all tables owned by FLOWS_020100, the mentioned WWV_FLOW_WORKSHEET_RPTS table is not present here. At least you gave me an idea of a basic approach.

Am I right, that SYSTEM is able to perform the mentioned update ?

Yes, SYSTEM should be able to do that; you'd have to precede table name with owner's name, such as
update apex_user.that_table set
  some_column = 100
where ...
