RE: "Search Results" column order won't stick.

You have the choice for up to about 40 columns. How many do have checked?
Clicking the "relevance" will diminish your settings due to screen
resolution/pixels.
In other words, you're trying to put 10 pounds of sh.. in a 5 pound box.
Or change your DPI in Display settings from 96DPI to about 60 (very unwise).
Otherwise, on your next search it will revert to default. Maybe a larger
monitor?

When I do a search for files, the column order is not as I would like. The

displayed.

I KNOW how I'm _supposed_ to control this feature - right clicking on the
column headers brings up a dialog box allowing me to set which columns are
displayed, the width and the order. Like I say, that much works OK. Ans
when I change the order it works UNTIL I DO A NEW SEARCH AND THEN IT REVERTS
BACK TO THE UNWANTED ORDER.

Problem is, the column order won't stick (or keep it's settings) the next
time I do a search, the incorrect colums appear. It's as though the
settings are not retained between searches.

This behavior is not present on my laptop, and I believe it's a problem with
a file on my desktop. Does anyone know where XP might store these "search
results" column settings from session to session?

Is it a registry entry? .INI file?

Anyone know how to make these column settings stick?

Thanks
