We have Windows XP PRO and Novel network at work and
Windows Explorer will not retain the folder view settings(detailed view)
when ever a new folder is opened or we log off the netwrok and log back on.
Can anyone recommened a solution ?
I have tried the "apply this view to all folders" to no avail, have also
tried under Options advanced settings but the settings are never retained.
 
Are there any network/ domain security settings that keep you from doing this?
Check your GPO's there might be a security setting for Control Panel that is
limiting the right to change this setting.

Hope this helps...
 
If you use TweakUI, delete the Keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags

If not, see this:

Increase Folder View Size Limit to 8000:

reg file to make the view settings remember more than XP'x default 400
folders.
