Not sure ... in practice it doesn't matter whether I set all windows to
view
details before I exit or not, explorer opens with icons.
I opened up "Save Settings on Exit (Line 54)" and found:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"SystemTray"="SysTray.Exe"
My regedit shows REG_DWORD, 0x00000000(0) in the first location and has
no
SystemTray entry in the second location but shows (Default), (value not
set);
ATIPTA; ccApp; NvCplDaemon; vptray.
Does this help? (Thanks again for your help ... feel free to abandon my
problem whenever)

Thanks again for your help. I've now loaded and run File-Ex without
success.
The MS link just confirms the basic instructions which my Explorer
continues
to ignore. I must be getting interference from another program or
bug?
Is
there somewhere I can look or something I can re-set?

Thanks for your advice which clearly should have worked but
unfortunately
has
made no difference (HKey edit worked, I rebooted but I still get
icons
all
the time).

Restore Folder Views (Line 2)

The Default for Windows XP is to remember the view settings for
the
400
most recently used folders (SP2 is 5000). This regedit changes
the
settings
to 8000. 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.

Help ... Explorer always opens with Icons in every view!
I choose to View Details, not Icons, then I choose
Tools/Folder
Options/View/Apply to All Folders and then OK. Next time I
open
Explorer
(whether before or after closing window, before or after
restarting
computer)
every folder opens with Icons!
This has been consistently so for a few weeks but was not
always.
I
have
searched for renegade programs or settings but with no luck.
I would appreciate advice please. The problem is relatively
unimportant
but
very frustrating.
