Just recently, when I set a folder option - view
to "ICONS", it will hold that for an opening or two of
the folder, then reverts back to the detail view. Also
reverts when restarting windows. Can't figure out why it
is not permenantly saved.
 
Hi,

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.
