Default Folder Options

Hi Michael,

Windows remembers 400 folder settings. When that number is reached some
settings aren't retained any longer. You can change this to 8000 by adding
this edit to the registry.

Run this first edit, reset your folder options, then run the second edit.

Increase Folder View Options Limit: (Line 2)

Save Settings on Exit (Line 54)

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.

All the Best,
Kelly

Most likely the answer is going to be nada, but I want to
know if there's anything I can do about this problem.
Every few reboots, Windows XP decides to reset my folder
options to default. So I go in and change the view
options, what it shown in details and what is not, etc,
only to have them all reset a week(or some other random
amount of time) later. Any suggestions?
