Hi Claude,
Open a folder. Tools > Folder Options > View > Reset All Folders
Close the folder. Open and customize the folder again. View > Apply to All Folders
If the settings are not saved, try this fix from Kelly:
Increase Folder View Options Limit: (Line 2):

What this fix does - Explanation from 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:
