Folders

[Gary]

My folders view settings seem to have a mind of their own!

Under the advanced folder options I have set it
to "remember each folders settings" but it doesn't.

Often when I return to a folder (say the following day)
it seems to want to display the contents in the preview
mode.

Can anyone please help me on this???

Thanks in advance - Gary

Gary,

Increasing the folder setting cache solves the problem.

From MVP Kelly:

Windows [XP] 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.=20

Run this edit, then reset your preferred folder options:=20

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.
