Folder view settings help

[Ryuken]

You know how in windows xp you can change the views of the icons in a folder. In thumbnails, icon, list ,details and such. For some reason my view settings doesn't save. I've been trying to keep the view for "My Documents " to be icons but it keep changing back to tiles >.<

 

Thanks for reading and hopefully helping too

Go to Control Panel >> Folder Options. Then click on the 'View' tab at the top. In the list of advanced settings at the bottom, make sure you have the 'Remember each folder's view settings' box ticked. Other than that, I can't think of anything.

that's checked and also, i used the powertoy tweakUI for xp to increase the number of folder view settings to save but that didn't help either

Go into that same Folder Options and click on the view tab and click on Reset All Folders, then try to get it to save that view. If "Apply to All Folders" has ever been checked, the view that was saved will ALWAYS revert.
