In the top bar, do a click in Edit
Select the Preferences option
Now you'll note that the first tab (enabled by default) is called Views, if not, choice it
In this tab, the first option is Default view, so click in the box of the left and select List view instead of Icon view

Now when you open a new window with nautilus, you should see all the folders and files listed.

Set of screen-shoots to help a little bit:
