    After Completely changing the settings of the folder 
    views, one by one (ie:"Flimstripe/Thumbnails/Icons/etc..) 
    and then closing the folders, one at a time until the 
    whole system and subsequent folders are all closed ~Why 
    does XP go RIGHT BACK TO IT'S OLD SETTINGS????
    I'm logged on as Admin and all that XP bull .. but to no 
    avail ... Is this normal for XP Pro?
