Two Windows Explorer Problems

1) When trying to delete unzipped folders, get "Access
Denied". Have to go down one folder and delete, then up
and delete.

2) Cannot set default folder view to "Details". Check
the choice in "Tools/Folder Options/View/Folder
Views/Apply to All Folders" but quickly reverts to icon
view.

Any thoughts on these problems? Thanks
 
Hi David,

For 2:

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.

Windows Explorer/View/[Select Accordingly]. Then Tools/Folder
Options/View/Apply to All Folders.
