Why do my settings change?

[Biff]

Hi Folks,

Windows! aaaargh! What do I have to do to get my general
settings to be permanent? I would like all applications to
open maximized EVERY time not every once in a while. I
would like all folders to display lists and details ALL
the time not every once in a while. I would like the
programs menu to show ALL programs ALL the time not some
of the programs some of the time. Isn't there ONE place to
set these parameters and to do so permanently?

Thanks
Biff

If you mean that the views which you set are not always being
remembered, go to Kelly's Korner at
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and check out line #2, left
hand column, "Increase folder view size limit to 8000". The instructions for
using it are at the top of the Tweaks page.

As to the start menu, you may want to try using the Windows classic
style. To do so right click the start menu, select properties and choose the
Windows Classic style.

Hope this helps,
Milt
