Thank you for the reply. Since it took a few days for my Usenet post
to show up, I spent much more time investigating this Vista bug. It
seems that people call this malfunctioning Vista feature "folder
sniffing". With that search term, Google presented me with lots of
solutions on how to turn off this folder sniffing "feature".

The more that I find out about the Vista File Explorer, the more that
I'd like to simply replace it with a third-party file explorer product
-- one that, for example, would allow me to put a "Delete" icon onto
the toolbar, and one that would never ever show a less-than-useful,
space-consuming column like Ratings.

So I'm still digging...

Hello pilotplanes,

Method Two in this tutorial will reset the folder views to use the
"Details" view like you wanted.

Hope this helps,
