Re: Thumbnail View Not Sticking

Bob,

Thanks for your help. I got the problem resolved by doing the following:

Open "My Computer"
Navigate to the folder(s) that you what to change the view on.
Select the view you want.
Close or make changes to other folders.
Close.

Now when you open windows explorer the view changes that you made above have
stuck.

Regards.

As the title says, the thumbnail view is not sticking after I choose it
for a folder view. It immediately changes back to "Detail" view, like
all of my other folders, when I go to another folder and then back again
or if I exit explorer and then go back into explorer.

I have tried every trick, suggestion and registry hack that I could find
on the internet with no success. This is a new install of XP with SP2
and all of the updates and patches.

Anybody know of a "surefire" cure?

Thanks in advance.
