I have my PC set to "details" view in "My Computer".
Whenever I open Internet Explorer Ver 6, the details view
in the "My Computer" menu change to tiles. ??? This is a
glitch that I can repeat every time... anyone else notice
this problem ?? I am running win xp home, on HP pavilion,
all latest updates are applied. Thanks in advance. Fred.
 
Fred:
Go to Control Panel / Folder Options / View Tab: in the Advanced settings
scroll down until you see "Remember each folder's view settings" check that,
click Apply, click OK. That should solve the problem for you.

Hi Jerry, thanks for your reply, but I have tried your
suggestion several times already with the same result. It
appears that this glitch has arrived sometime during the
latest IE6 updates, I might try a system restore to see if
it changes. It doesn't do it with Netscape ver 7, just
IE6, very peculiar. The scenario that brings on is: I
open "my computer" and view in details mode. I then
close "my computer" and open Internet Explorer. When I
reopen "my computer", the details are gone and the screen
shows the information in "tiles". I can repeat this
problem every time. If you should try this, please let me
know how you make out. Thanks in advance, Fred.
