Folder display issue

Using windows explorer with the Folders button checked, creating a split
screen, the contents of My Pictures does not display file names.

The Problem:
Using windows explorer - In the left window (displays Desktop, My Documents,
My Computer, etc…)
Clicking down My Documents/My Pictures does NOT display any file names of
the My Pictures directory.

The Catch:
In the same explorer window - clicking down My Computer/Local Disk
(C)/Documents and Settings/<user>/My Documents/My Pictures DOES display the
file names.

How can the display be corrected when using the shorter My Documents path?
 
Hold down the shift key when switching to thumbnail view to hide the file
names. Do it again to bring them back.

And if it is this then the reason that it is different depending on how you navigate there is that is how folder settings are stored, by the path taken to get to a folder.
 
I stand by my answer.

I don't know why, but the View settings *are* different.

At least they are on my machine, XP Pro.

Using Windows Explorer in the Folders pane.

Desktop
[-] My documents
[+] My Pictures

View of My Pictures folder in right hand pane is Thumbnails.

Going further down...

[-] My Computer
[-] Local Disk (C:)
[-] Documents and Settings
[-] Wesley P. Vogel
[-] My Documents
[+] My Pictures

View of My Pictures folder in right hand pane is Details.

Get down funky.

There is nothing wrong with your answer. I was explaining why the results he got are different depending on how they navigated. As it was addressing the part of his post that you didn't rather than reply to him with the supplementry information and to make it make sense I would have to include what you had already said. That's extra typing

Oh.

Your reply was to my post not the OP, so I replied to your reply. :-)

Understand the extra typing.

*Now* I get why the View settings are different.
