| | Something that bothers me, and for which I think there must be a "cure", is the fact that in Windows XP every time i open a certain folder it shows up in a seemingly random view, in most cases either "icons" or "tiles", in some case "thumbnails" if we are dealing with pictures. While the latter makes sense I don't see why I shouldn't be able to set my preference for a given folder, so that for example the folder c:\apps always shows up in "details" view which is the one I usually prefer...
I haven't performed a detailed study on the matter but it seems to me that doesn't happen since 98% of the times I change the view to "details" and when I return to the same folder some time later I find it in a different view!
Is there a way to save the "view choice" for each folder? or at least to set one default view for all folders?
thanks  |

Just go to "Tools" in explorer and click "Folder Options...". Once there check the box next to "Remeber each folder's view settings".  And before that you should reset all folder's view which is located at the top of the dialog box. I hope that should work, because as you told the settings are resetting, that is, it is applying the default view. So checking the box should maintain each folders view separately.

Windows Xp: Explorer.exe Crashes On Certain Accounts
(9) I share a Windows XP computer with two friends, and we each have our own User Account on the

went onto their User Accounts to see for myself (with permission, of course), and found that
Explorer would crash any time I right-clicked a File, and would also crash on occasion if I clicked
"File" on the Folder Window's Menu Bar with a file selected. It also happened on rare occasion....
