This is my biggest, biggest issue with both Explorers in WinXP and 2K.
When I would set all folder to details view in Win98SE after adjusting
columns, etc., they'd STAY and stay permanently.

Win2K no matter which machine I was on on my contracts, or at home,
hardly ever worked properly despite setting the folder view to what I
wanted and unticking "Remember each folder's view settings". Becuase
of the multiple contracts I have in any given year, I know this is a
fault with Win2K otherwise it wouldn't be a problem no matter where I
was sent to work.

WinXP seems to last a little bit longer at my chosen setting but,
eventually, reverts back to the factory default of large icons. I'm
really fed up with this. I make full use of LFNs and often
differentiate files with the date at the end. Since I format the date
in yyyy.mm.dd, the files are all chronological but I make best and
most efficient use of LFNs and file saving in details view.

Is there a registry fix or other that _once_ and for _all_ completely
fixes this, pls? I do so hope so because it's the single most
frequent thing I have to stop and see to. It's very annoying.

Thanks much. I really appreciate any help with this in advance.
Cheers. D

Isn't there a way to fix this, pls?

At work, I've replaced Explorer with a freeware Explorer replacement
that I'm very happy with. So end of frustrations with Win2K's
Explorer.

However, I have a lot of shell extensions that I rely heavily upon
here at home and, naturally enough, work best with Explorer so
absolutely _must_ find a solution to this in XP!

Thanks.

Well, this one is still not much better. About every fourth or fifth
time I open up an Explorer window, I have to change the view. Thank
goodness it's not every single time like in Win2K, but this is going
to get just as old, just as fast.

Can someone _please_ tell me a registry fix for this????? At work I
wouldn't be able to do anything because they lock up the registry.
But at home that wouldn't be a problem with my WinXP.

Pls and thanks.
