Folder view settings on a thumb drive

[Rick B]

I have a USB drive that has about six folders on it. When I open a folder
in "My Computer" it always defaults to the "Icons" view. I change the view
to "Details", but my change does not stick.

I went to Tools/Folder Options/View and made sure that "Remember each
folder's view settings" is checked.

Am I missing something? Is this just a "feature" of a USB drive?

I'm using Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 2.

Folder settings seem to default to icon-view for any newly created
folder. Perhaps folders on removable drives always appear to be "newly
created"
