View Full Version : Windows Explorer view problem
ged
December 6th 03, 03:10 PM
When I first set up my computer over 6 months ago, in Windows Explorer I
selected "List" from the View menu, clicked the button "Apply to All
Folders" in "Tools > Folder Options > View" and put a checkmark in "Remember
each folder's view settings." Since then I must have done this a hundred
times, because for some unknown reason the view frequently reverts back to
one or the other options; most frequently "Icons." For all I know, what I
have done so many times, should have, in the first place, fixed my choice
once and for all. What is going on here? Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Best regards. G

Hi,
Explorer remembers settings only upto 400 levels deep. to
increase this download tweakui from MS web site and
configure this. Read this at the web site.

Search for the phrase "400" and read.

Many thanks for your helpful reply. I already had TweakUI, but it turned out
to be an older version lacking this particular setting. I downloaded the new
version, and so far so good. I increased the number to 1000. Regards, G
