I need help from an XP expert.


The 'Apply to all folders' in the Control Panel Folders options is grayed
out. However, when I click on Windows explorer and click on Tools - folder
options - View - the 'Apply to all folders in not grayed out'.

My problem is that when I change the folder view to 'details' it
successfully changes this view on all folders for this session but when I
reboot - it
forgets.

How can I get it to remember on reboot and how do I fix the Control panel
issue (which
is probably related)?


Thanks in advance.
 
Hi,

WindowsXP will remember the settings of up to 400 folders, after that it
starts forgetting some. See this from MVP Kelly for a way to increase this
number:

Line 2, increase the folder view size limit to 8000

I tried this but did not work. Still grayed out in the control panel but
ok in the windows explorer.

Anyone else can help on this? A registry location to check?

Thanks,

Mike
