Hi,
Windows remembers 400 folder settings. When that number is reached some
settings aren't retained any longer. You can change this to 8000 by adding
this edit to the registry.
Run this edit, then reset your preferred folder options:
Increase Folder View Options Limit: (Line 2)

Change the Sort Order Back to W2K Style (Line 107)

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.
