My folders view settings seem to have a mind of their own!

Under the advanced folder options I have set it
to "remember each folders settings" but it doesn't.

Often when I return to a folder (say the following day)
it seems to want to display the contents in the preview
mode.

Can anyone please help me on this???

Thanks in advance - Gary
 
Gary,

Increasing the folder setting cache solves the problem.

From MVP 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):

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.
