Windows Explorer View Changes

[joeZy]

Whenever I change the view of a folder in Windows
Explorer it usually changes to something else the next
time I open that folder. Is there a way to keep the view
I select as the view I want for that folder?
I'm running Win XP.
Thanks, joeZy

From Windows Explorer choose...

Tools...Folder Options

Then select the View tab

Scroll down to the last group of checkboxes and make sure that "Remember
each folder's view settings" is checked.

Open Windows Explorer -> tools menu -> folder options -> view tab -> there
is a checkbox somewhere in the middle saying "Remember each folder's view
settings. Checkmark it and u r done.

Hi Joe,

Added info:

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.
