Thank for the help, Bob. I thought I already did that, but the option
was unchecked. It took two restarts to get it to stick, and it worked
for several boots. However, now it is back to its old detail view! XP
seems to be too smart for my own good. I am still working on it, but it
is not high on my priority list.

Open control panel | Folder Options and click on the "view" tab.  The
scroll down to "Remember each folder's view settings"
and be sure this box is checked.   Then it should just be a matter
of opening Control Panel and setting it to Icon View and close
the window.   I have this setting engaged and can change back
and forth with WinXP remembering the view setting.
