Title: Folder View Settings
Post by: landoflochs on July 23, 2003, 02:26:33 AM

Most of my folders are set to View Details

A few folders such as the Control Panel I want set to Icons

Nearly every time I restart my system the Control Panel reverts to Detail View

Music file folder just seem to change displayed details at will.

Folders that have not been accessed in a while seem more prone to change
and just seem to change displayed info at will.

I am Running XP Pro

My old system running WinMe does not have this problem

Hi

Windows only remembers the folder settings for 200 folders as default. You need to change the size of the following keys in order to remember more. (If the keys don't exist, just create them as new REG_DWORD.)
