I have Windows XP and can't seem to get it to do what I
could with Windows 98, so I hope someone can help!
I have icons on my desktop that open folders in a window.
I shrink the window down to a small size and set the
folder to show files within it as icons, then I close the
folder. When I click on the desktop icon again, the window
opens and looks exactly as I left it, which is great.
However, once I have rebooted my PC a couple of times and
then go into the same folder by clicking the desktop icon,
the folder view has changed back to its default, which
tends to be a huge window and the files list in 'detail'
view.
This never used to happen - what am I doing wrong?
I've checked the 'folder options' section in Control Panel
and the 'remember each folder's view' option is marked.
It might be that I like to see some folders in detail view
and others in 'icon' view, and the software seems to get
confused?
Hmmm... Shouldn't I be able to have different settings for
different folders, and shouldn't each setting be
remembered? Or is there a flag I need to adjust somewhere
to enable all this?
Help gratefully received...
Thanks.
