ARRRGH! winxp and folders

[coolcat]

When I put a configuration for displaying items in a folder (ie. display in groups or arrange icons by type) it loses them and reverts back to the original (i don't even know how he set the original option) when i change folder or restart the PC.

Can anyone help me?

Okay, then ... try the newer fix available on the <A HREF="http://www.dougknox.com/" target="_new">Doug Knox</A> website called "Windows XP Doesn't Save User Settings" under Win XP Fixes, and see if that does the job. And make sure that when in a folder you have customized that under Tools\Folder Options\View\Advanced Settings that "Remember each folder's view settings" is checked. The combination of the two works for me.
