Freezing the views in Windows Explorer

[Dan McLean]

When I use Windows Explorer to look at picture files, I generally use the
views icon and select either thumbnails or details but every time I leave
Windows Explorer and come back I have to continually re-set it back to one
of the above, thumbnail or detailed view. Is there any way of telling
Windows Explorer 'Keep the file selection parameters same as last time I
used them ?' Thanks, Dan.

Hi Dan,

WindowsXP will remember the settings of up to 400 folders, after that it
starts forgetting some. See this from MVP Kelly for a way to increase this
number:

Line 2, increase the folder view size limit to 8000

You can also resolve this with the newest version of TweakUI. Get it here:

After installing, look under explorer/customization, increase the "folders
to remember".\
