"File Folder" setting problem

G

Guest

I have a problem that I need your help on. I have the following settings selected

From Control Panel, choose Folder Options, select View tab. Under advanced settings, I have selected “Remember each folders view settings.â€

My problem is that it does not work. I open a folder and the settings that I had last left it in are not remembered. As an example, I like my folders to open to full window view. Not to a small window. I also use long file names, so I like the spacing of the file pane to be large so the entire file name appears. I make the file size pane smaller to accomplish this. This occurs in Explorer and any file I view from Explorer. It will remember the setting as long as I have the system (computer on) but the next time I boot up the settings are not there. I never had this problem with my older Windows 98 operating system. Is there a fix for this? Also on Pop Up windows or Menus I drag them to were I want them to be displayed. When I close them and re-open them they are never were I put them. Is there also a fix for this

Thank Yo

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