XP Explorer: Default View?

[mark4man]

People,

In Windows Explorer [whether using the main program . . . or Start Menu Explorer options (e.g., My Documents, My Computer, etc.)], my "Views" always defaults back to "Icons", despite changing to my preferred View repeatedly.

Any way to configure Explorer to display the previously set View?

Thanks in advance,

I have found it to be unstable too, but using the option to set one folder like you want and then to have all folders set the same way seems to be the most stable.... It is under Tools, Folder Options in Win2K, I think it is similar in other flavors of Windoze....

Budfred,

That's just the thing . . . I need to customize.

But I found I got uniformity by using your method to set up the basic Explorer view; & then customizing select Folders where applicable (for example . . . setting "Filmstrip" as the view for Folders containing photos.) Once I set Explorer view to "List", individual Folders I customized after that seem to retain the setting.

Thanks,
