I want all folders to be "details." O go... tools/Folder Options/View
and click "Like current" but it doesn't seem to have any effect. The
current folder even changes back after clicking a few other folders.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

I can't understand what your tweaks man suggests. I found another "fix."

In the registry delete all keys bags and bagsmru. Create DWORD keys of
BagsMru Size in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\Windows\Shell and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam. I have gone up
to 5000 dec in size and still no change in behavior. The registry pretty
much "fixes" itself on re-boot.

Why doesn't XP have a fix for this? Why are we grasping at straws? Why
am I dinging around in the registry to fix what should be a normal part
of the system? It reminds me of DOS 1.1 in 1982 when I first encountered
Microsoft.
