Folder Options View Details error

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

xp pro.

I want all my explorer views to be details. It doesn't work choosing it
in the normal manner.

I learned a fix for this once with a registry fix. Unfortunately
registry mechanic fixed the fix and I lost it. It has something to do
with the number of files explorer can remember or something.

Hope someone can point me to that solution.

Thanks

John
