Folder views resetting

I set up a folder the way I like it and then went into Tools>Folder
Options>Views and then used the "Apply to all Folders" option, but this does
not stand the test of time for some reason. Every now and then, I will go to
a folder and it will be set to thumbnails or something like that of which I
did not do. Is this a glitch or something? Is there a fix or something I can
do to control this better and not run into this anymore? Thanks.
 
Hi Mark,

Open Regedit and go to the following sub-folders:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags]

Right-click on each one (i.e. BagMRU and Bags) and select Delete to get rid
of both of them.

Reboot your PC and set up each of your folders as you like it. These
settings should now be saved and restored on the next reboot. By deleting
the registry entries above Windows is forced to recreate them and in doing
so get rid of corruption and bad entries, typically caused by third-party
programs.

If the above does not help, proceed to 2.......

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:
