I've posted this twice before (once each in 2 diff forums) but no one has had the courage to figure this one out or get back to me with some possible help.
....and I thought only the **really** smart people hung out here!
==> HERE IT IS <==
---------------------------
I have a two PCs where the program groups that I've created on my desktop, for icon shortcuts, won't remember the View -> Icon setting from one power-on session to the next. All of my other PCs are fine and don't have a problem remembering their settings from one power-on session to the next.
All PCs are Win-XP-Pro at SP2.
When I reopen the program group after reboot, the default display always reverts back to Details view, and Auto Arrange is enabled..
Here are some of the things I've tried:
[1] With the pgm group open and in Icon view, hold down the SHIFT key and click on the group's red X.
[2] While the pgm group is open & in Icon view mode, menu = Tools -> Folder Options -> View:
ü Remember Each Folder's View Settings (Clk APPLY)
Now clk on action button: Apply to All Folders
After reboot, the view reverted back to Details mode.
[3] Downloaded-Installed TweakUi: Explorer -> Customizations:
Folders To Remember I changed setting from 400 to 700,
Reboot. Default display still reverted back to Details view.
What is going on here and why is it only on a few PCs of the same OS and SP level?
How can I get the Icon view mode to stick from one power-on session to the next?
Thanks for any assistance.
