The Guy With The Horns

I'm have the same problem The (e-mail address removed) is
having.

I am using XP-Pro & I have changed the 'folders default'
view to 'details' hundreds of times. I use the 'classic
folders view'

Some folder are OK. Others open with 'thumbnails'
or 'slide'. If I change it, and close, it 'reverts back'.

I've tried deleting the folder. Creating a new empty one.
Then opening it. It appears to be OK. I copy my files
into it. When I close & reopen. It opens as 'thumbs'.

This is driving me nuts!

Thanks
 
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.
