Thanks for the suggestion, but what I want is 'classic view' with the
'folders' column on the left by default, just like Win98 is.

Hi Fred,

Yes, I know it's a pain. 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:

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Line 2, increase the folder view size limit to 8000. See if it =
helps.

Hi,

From Explorer, click Tools/Folder Options. If you are using
"common
tasks",
then you need to switch to "classic folders". Then go back =
and
set
the
folder view up the way you want. Return to folder options, =
and on
the
view
tab tab use the option to "apply to all folders".
