                 Hi, do you know why Windows XP never remember each 
 folders' view settings.  For instance, when I open a 
 folder, I would like it to be in a window and the items in 
 it are listed as Icons. But when I open each folders, it 
 is automatically maximized and the items are listed 
 as "List."  This happens when I changed the view 
 to "Icons" and resized the window, but a couple of days 
 later it went back to maximize and "List."  Please help 
 because this is very irritating to me and I had never 
 encounter this problem with other versions of Windows.   
 Thank you.

Hi, 
 
Run this edit, then reset your folder options: 
 
Increase Folder View Options Limit: (Line 2)

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.

1.Desktop Folders will not remember view settings 

Like the subject says, I can't get the desktop folders to remember any 
 settings (size,placement or icon view). 
  I like to keep my explorer settings as Detailed View and my desktop folders 
 as Icon View but they won't stick permanently. They will for a about 5 min. 
 or so but then always go back to "Detailed View" again. 
  I have "remember folder view settings" ticked but it makes no diff. 
               ......Please help as this is driving me bats!
