My machine seems to have started reverting folder views
to thumbnails for random folders. I have tried the "Apply
to All Folders" button, but it doesn't seem to help, and
I have the "Remember each folder's view settings" box
checked. It happens about once in every 20 or so folders
that I open and it's getting really anoying.
Any help Much appriciated, Thanks, Jamie

Reset the folder settings: Delete the Registry keys
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell \Bags and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell \BagMRU, both with
all the subentries, then create new keys "BagMRU" and "Bags" here. At
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell NoRoam create a new
DWORD entry
BagMRU Size
and set this to
5000
Restart the computer.
After that you have to re-setup the folder layouts because all layouts
that have been saved up to now are lost.
