Control Panel view setting problem

[Scott]

I'm running XP Home (SP1a) and I'm having a problem with the view setting
for the control panel sticking. I prefer the classic view set to tiles but
from time to time it keeps reseting itself to icon view instead. I figured
there has to be a registry setting in there somewhere for this but I've had
no luck tracking it down. Anyone have any advice?

Hi Scott,

Windows remembers 400 folder settings. When that number is reached some
settings aren't retained any longer. You can change this to 8000 by adding
this edit to the registry.

Run this edit, then reset your preferred folder options:

Increase Folder View Options Limit: (Line 2)

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.
