Hi Mike,
After clicking "Apply to all folders", make sure that 'Remember each
folder's view settings' is ticked.
If this does not help, open Regedit and go to the following sub-folders:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags]
Right-click on each one (i.e. BagMRU and Bags) and select Delete to get rid
of both of them.
Reboot your PC and set up each of your folders as you like it. These
settings should now be saved and restored on the next reboot. By deleting
the registry entries above Windows is forced to recreate them and in doing
so get rid of corruption and bad entries, typically caused by third-party
programs.
If the above does not help, proceed to 2.......

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.

Hi there,
I have Windows XP on an AMD machine and I can't get
Windows Explorer to use the same view in all instances.
For example, every time that I get files from a floppy, I
have to change the view from icons to list. I want all
folders, always to show list view.
Is there a way to do this?
TIA
Mike W.
