The download is an HTA powered by VBScript. I initially
wrote a fix for XP folders, many years ago, because Explorer
in XP has a bug that's never been fixed: Explorer saves
details of folder settings -- up to 5,000 -- in the Registry.
But it doesn't do it properly. As a result it then ignores its
own settings! The system can be fixed by repairing the
settings Explorer has written, so that window size and view
style will be remembered.

The download above is the same utility for Vista/7. Vista/7
Explorer settings in the Registry are slightly different from
XP. Usually the whole thing seems to work pretty well in
Win7, but if not you can try this fix.

There are directions and explanation when you open the
HTA in the download. If you prefer not to use an unknown
utility, you can use the explanation and VBScript code as
guidance to make the Registry setting repairs yourself. It's
not terribly complex. You just have to delete existing folder
settings, then create a series of keys and settings under
HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft
\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders
that will apply to all future folders opened.

On XP it's possible to stop the Windows intrusion
that overrides your choice of display type based on
content. (Ex. Showing thumbnails when a folder contains
mainly JPGs.) I don't remember offhand whether the Win7
Folder Fix can do that.

| Greetings,
|
| I recently began losing my folder settings in WIN 7 Pro. I want
| detailed views in all folder and subfolder trees and for some reason
| explorer randomly defaults to a tile view. Even after resetting it to
| details.
|
| Searching was no help. No bugs found. I need to set the entire folder
| contents of the c drive to details and have it stay that way..
|
| Anyone have this happen to them? Could it be a corrupt registry?
|
| I recently cloned the drive to an SSD but initially had no problems.
|
| Thanks. Any help or tweaks would be appreciated.
