Hi, I'm pretty new with Vista and my version is 64 bit. I have two annoying
problems.

1) More often then not the the folder views I've set up revert to a default
setting which I don't want.
2) Although I start the 32bit version of IE via a short cut it seems
sometimes it's the 64bit version that starts and doesn't have the flash
plugins etc installed. I shut IE and relaunch via the same short cut and
sure enough it's all ok again?

Any ideas, sensible cures would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

folders that screw up.

I had asked this very same question four days ago with no response.

Well 2 days gone by and the folders are still how I set them.

Thank you everyone for the solutions. I've added both solutions to my fixes
folder.

I'm sure I'll some more annoying features lol

I've also sussed why IE 64 bit occasionally started up instead of the 32bit
version............... (Red face here lol)

It was my multimedia keyboard, if I set a key to open a web site it starts
up the IE 64bit version, anyway I've got around it by launching IE 32bit
direct from x86 folder with the web page passed as a parameter.

Thanks again

Eddy
