My win2k sp4 has all of a sudden stopped remembering what
my folder views are. I set all folders the same under
tools, folder options, view. Remember each folders view
settings. Then I got to all the folders I want changed and
change them to my preferences but it don't remember my
view settings. I want "My computer" to have large icon
view. I want "file manager" to have detailed view and I
have some photographs I want in thumbnail view. But all I
get is large icon view. When I change them the way I want,
quit and reload they have changed back. They change if I
look at another folder then return my settings are changed
back to large icon view. Can't find anything on this in KB
on this. Please help. I hate having the wrong settings
for my folder views.
