I have a most annoying problem. No matter what I do, I just CANNOT get my
new Win XP Pro to remember the individual views of folders. I HAVE clearly
checked the "Remember each folder's view settings" under 'Tools\Folder
Options\Views\ but it makes ZERO difference.

I am fully able to use the "reset all folders" button and EVERY folder on my
system will revert to Tile View default. I can also set any folder on my
system to some other setting, such as "Detail View" and use the "Apply to
all folders" button and as advertised it applies that view to EVERY single
folder on my system. But there is no way I can set an INDIVIDUAL folder's
view settings differently after either of these steps.

I have tried changing views, and then closing that window while holding down
the "CTRL" key or the "SHIFT" key (tricks I recall reading from time to
time, but believe me, the settings will NOT stick no matter what I do.

Is there some other over-riding default somewhere that I don't know about.

I should add that I use XP Pro at work, and have used it at home as well and
have never encountered such a persistent refusal to do what it is supposed
to do. Sure, from time to time Windows has always seemed to "forget" a
folder's settings and I need to re-do that folder's setting, but I have
never yet found a situation where NO FOLDER can be set differently no matter
what I do.

Any help out there?
