Customize folder - Apply to all sub folders does NOT work.

[Guest]

If I open up windows explorer and go to the folder I keep all my photos in,
"D:\1 PICS"
and I right click on it and choose properties, then customize, I choose the
"Pictures and Videos" template. Then I click the checkbox that says "Also
apply this template to all subfolders" Then I hit ok.
I open the folder and there I have many different folders containing photos.
Now if I open up the subfolders, half of them show up in the "Large Icons"
View which is great, but the other half show up in the Details view.
So obviously the "apply to all subfolders" checkbox doesn't work. I tested
something else out by customizing the parent folder "D:\1 PICS" and assigning
a custom icon to it. Then every time I customize one of its subfolders and
turn them into a Pictures and Video template they acquire the same custom
icon as the parent folder. But still I have to go to each individual
subfolder and set them to pics and video templates. I have hundreds of
picture folders. There must be a way to get the "Also apply this template to
all subfolders" checkbox to work properly.

I know many other people have this problem, if anyone can please help out it
would be greatly appreciated.

Ps. I'm pretty sure every time I reset my computer, even the folders i
customized as picture and video in the D:\1 PICS folder revert back to
DETAILS view.

I just checked, and if I close windows explorer and re-open it, it has
forgotten ALL the customized settings I applied to the folders. So if i
change the template of one of the subfolders in my D:/1 pics folder to
pictures and videos and save it. If i close explorer and go back to it, it's
set to "details" again. I don't even need to reset the machine for it to
forget.

Brink,
Thank you very, very much for your help. I deleted the registry keys and it
worked out great! Now if I can just figure out why my task scheduler
interrupts the shut down sequence when i try to turn my computer off I'll be
set =)

suggestions
