Windows Explorer Doesn't Remember Views

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I'm setting up a new computer for my aged father and installed a fresh copy of
Win XP Pro SP2. In setting things up, for some reason I can't get Windows
Explorer to remember the settings for each folder. As a default, I prefer for
"details" to show rather than the icons. I have (from Win Explorer) gone to
View > Details, then gone to Tools > Folder Options > View. I have each window
opening in a separate process, remember each folder's view settings... I've
clicked "apply to all folders". It doesn't.

When I open another folder, there are those damned icons again instead of the
details list. What's up with this?
