Desktop Configuration Problem - View - Icons
I have my XP desktop configured to use the classic
configuration. I still prefer folders to confusing cascading menus. For some reason, even though I reset each folder to "View - Icons", the folders frequently return to "View - Tile". This is driving me crazy because I can't track what triggers the setting back to View Tile. Does anyone have an idea why my folders will show up using this annoying view?

Hi Mike,
This may help. Download and apply the edit. And then reset the folder views according to your choice. Increase folder view size limit to 8000 (line 2, left column) http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm -- Anando Microsoft-MVP for Windows XP Know more about the MVP program- http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Indian MVPs- http://www.microsoft.com/india/mvp/indiamvp.aspx "Rob Coventry" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the quick reply. I've loaded the registry entry
you suggested. I will let you know if it does not work. -----Original Message----- Hi Mike, This may help. Download and apply the edit. And then reset the folder views according to your choice.

That did not appear to fix my problem. When I rebooted,
one of my folders came back in "Tile View". Any other thoughts? -----Original Message----- Hi Mike, This may help. Download and apply the edit.

One other question. How do I reverse these entries. If
they don't fix the problem, I'd rather not have them in. What are the default values? -----Original Message----- Hi Mike, This may help. Download and apply the edit.
