Folder Settings

[Steve]

After Completely changing the settings of the folder
views, one by one (ie:"Flimstripe/Thumbnails/Icons/etc..)
and then closing the folders, one at a time until the
whole system and subsequent folders are all closed ~Why
does XP go RIGHT BACK TO IT'S OLD SETTINGS????
I'm logged on as Admin and all that XP bull .. but to no
avail ... Is this normal for XP Pro?

Steve,

See this: from Kelly
=============
Windows [XP] remembers 400 folder settings. When that number is reached some settings aren't retained any longer. You can change this to 8000 by adding this edit to the registry.

Run this edit, then reset your preferred folder options:

Increase Folder View Options Limit: (Line 2):
