How can I keep XP from constantly changing my Folder "view types"? I want
my folders to be displayed with the "list" view mode. So I go into Windows
Explorer, select "list" from the View menu bar option, then I go into
Tools, Folder Options, Apply To All Folders. And for a while my folders
will be displayed in "view" mode. And then without reason, it will change
to "Thumbnails" every so often. This has been a constant battle for
several months now.

XP Home, SP1 and all updates.

Thanks,
Craig
 
Hi Craig

View settings are limited to 400. Try the following link to increase those
settings to 8000:
