Hi. Something funny happened in my view folder option in
control panel: the "apply to all folders" button is
greyed out and even if I want to change any of my folder
view when I exit and return to it it's back to the
default view. The "rember each folder's view setting" box
is checked.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance
 
Hi Alex,

This is normal behavior from the Control Panel. Follow the same steps from
Windows Explorer.

As per your latter mention, if it resolves to this:

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.

Windows Explorer/View/[Select Accordingly]. Then Tools/Folder
Options/View/Apply to All Folders.
