win explorer view/folder options

[Guest]

First, a thank you! to the experts here. I had a disaster (caused by installation of a Sony software, dammit!) and decided to upgrade to Win XP Pro while solving it. All the major problems I had, such as loss of Office Express folder and emails, sound card problems, getting my scsi card to work, etc., I found solutions by just reading the posts and answers here.

Thanks!

A tiny, simple problem eludes me. In Win Explorer, all my folder views go back to 'Details' when I have closed the folder then open it again later. For some folders I want 'icon' view, for some 'details,' etc. I have gone to 'Folder Options', 'View,' and have checked the "Remember each folder's view settings" box, like I did in XP Home and Win ME. But it still happens.

What am I missing

Thanks, again

You're missing Kelly's little regedit

The Default for Windows XP is to remember the view settings for the 400 most
recently used folders.
