file view

[Guest]

I like to view the contents of a folder as a list. I make that setting in the View drop down menu. The setting resets itself to show icons or thumbnails. How can I prevent that?

Ehsom,

Open a folder. Tools > Folder Options > View > Reset All Folders
Close the folder. Open and customize the folder again. View > Apply to All Folders

If that does not help, read the note from Kelly Theriot.
====================================

Windows [XP] 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:
