Icons in control panel will not say as set

[Randy]

Have Windows XP Pro, and for the past few weeks every time
I open the control panel the icons keep changing. I set
them to the type I want displayed, close the window,
reopen it and they are OK. But if I check the next day
they have returned to another type. I have admin rights
and just wondering why this is happening and if anyone
else has had this happen.

I had the same exact rproblem. Here is Kelly's answer to me. I followed
the instructions and have not had any problems since.

"Add Save & Restore Desktop Layout to Desktop Menu (Line 188)

Windows remembers 400 folder settings. When that number is reached some
settings aren't retained any longer. You can change this to 8000 by adding
this edit to the registry.

Run this edit, then reset your preferred folder options:

Increase Folder View Options Limit: (Line 2)

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit."
