in a folder containing mp3 files, when i select View-
Choose Details, they are often not saved (e.g. after
Click to expand...
reboot), and revert to the defaults. Then I have to
repeat the process. I have tried several registry fixes,
but no luck. When is Microsoft going to recognize this as
a bug?

Tx,
Matt
 
Without knowing what you have tried:

Windows 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)

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.

In case this hasn't helped, list what you have already tried.
 
Thanks Kelly. Tried that fix before. Didn't help.

Tx anyway,
Matt

No problem. Special folders do have their own issues and the MS team are
fully aware of the issues. Good luck in the meantime!
