xp folder view settings not being saved

Open a folder. Go to the tools menu, then go to the view menu.

One of the boxes down on the list, says Remember Each folders View settings.
I have that checked.

HOWEVER, after I shut off the computer, and sometimes after I have ran any number of programs, all my folders reset to Icon view. Something is wrong with the system as it is not saving each folders view setting. Could this be due to a virus, or a corrupt entry in the registery file?

Any help appreacated..
