To set ALL folders to ICON View and have that setting remembered: Open
either Windows Explorer or My Computer. Navigate to a folder, select that
folder, click the Views toolbar button, click Icons. Then click the Tools
menu, click Folder Options. When the Folder Options window opens click the
View tab. On the View window click the Apply to All Folders button, then
click the Apply and OK buttons at the bottom of that window.

Hi,

The first thing to do is go to Control Panel>Folder Options and under the
View tab make sure that 'Remember each folder's view settings' is ticked.

However even with this setting ticked you'll wind up with unsaved settings.
The way to fix this problem is to 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:

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.

Thank you all. Used T.C's directions.
So far it is doing what I asked for.
Something is haywire with MS?
At times when I open a recent nsgrp, it says no longer
available on the server and crosses it out.
