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:

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

Ok, did it all again in case I had done it with more than one instance
open,
nothings changed!
Explorer is still opening up the same way!

Make sure only one instance of Explorer is open when you do this.

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".

When I open Explorer I have to click on the 'Folders' button on

the
taskbar
to get the Folders column on the left, how do get explorer to open
up
like
that by default, and not have to click the folders button every
time?
