Folder View Options Won't Stay Put

[Millie]

Hi

I have chosen to display my icons in List view but they never stay like
that. As soon as I navigate away and go back again they display as Tile. Can
someone please tell me how I can get them stayput?

I'm using Windows XP Service.

Tools, Display Options, View, Remember each folder's view settings.

Hi Bob I

That's the problem. I have that selected already.

Sorry, but you didn't say that was what the problem was. ;-)

So use this fix to store more settings.

pick the 8000 folder one

Increase Folder View Size Limit to 8000

Try this:
Set the files to list view. Hold down the Ctrl key, then click the close
button on the upper right of the window (red X).

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.
