Default view large icons not sticking

My friend has his desktop icons filed in folders, such as video, audio,
and so on (i. e. he has lots of video-editing prog.s' icons inside a
desktop folder called "video" - keeps the desktop tidier).

He likes his normal Explorer window to show files in the "details" mode,
but when he opens one of these desktop folders, he wants them to come up
in "large icons" mode. In Explorer, he has "keep each folder's settings"
ticked.

When he opens one of these desktop folders, it comes up in a small mode
- I can't remember if it's list or details, but it certainly isn't large
icons. He changes it, and it will generally remain for the rest of that
XP session, but not through a reboot.
