explorer doesnt remember view settings, files not alphabetized

[Kevin J. Nielsen]

Xref: kermit microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics:144903

Every time I go to a folder in Windows explorer, it displays icons, I always
change it to display details, but next time I go to that folder, it is back
to icons again. I have checked the box to remember view settings in folder
options, but it wont remember my view settings.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this??

Thank You

Also, whenever I browse for a file, all the files are not in alphabetic
order, I can right click and alphabetize them, but it is a pain. Is there
any way I can set it so the files are automatically alphabetized??

Thank You

See www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm, Line 2, Left column, Increase
Folder View Size Limit. By default, Explorer only remembers 400 folder
views.

Click the top bar where it says "Name" to alphabetize the list of
files in a folder. Same for the other designations. Type will put all
extension types together. Size will arrange them by size from smallest
to largest; click again to arrange largest to smallest.
