Folder view settings revisited - again

One computer is driving its user nuts - it will simply not retain folder
view settings in Explorer.
All the usual methods have been employed - TweakUI, Views tab on Folder
Options, Save User settings tweak from Kelly's Korner, and deletion of Bags
and BagsMRU keys in the ShellNoRoam section of the registry.
Nothing seems to work.
Only thing we found was that the deleted registry keys would be regenerated
at boot - and then opening Explorer it is found that the view has reverted
to Tiles and sorted By Name which the user does not want!
This started last week on a fully updated Windows XP Pro SP2 machine but no
system settings modified in months. Inexplicably seems to have started after
the monthly CHKDSK /F was run. We don't know if that is related in any way.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

We also used the tweak, also from Kelly's Korner, for increasing
customizations to 8000!
Still the view resets itself to system default of Tiles and sorted by name
every boot!
 
Re: Folder view settings revisited - again

Use this VBScript to set your folder views:

Folder View Master by MS-MVP Keith Miller (no homepage anymore)
http://mysite.verizon.net/res18hr7/FVM3.zip or
http://members.home.nl/alsdewiedeweerga/Scripts/FVM3/FVM3.rar

Just follow its directions. If you want to master folder views too, just ask.
