Vista forgetting folder settings
Community Forums/General Help/Vista forgetting folder settings
| ||
My Vista installation keeps forgetting my folder preferences for some reason. Does anyone know a possible cause as to why this would happen? Normally if you set a folder to view items in a certain way, for example as thumbnails or a detail view, next time it is opened it remembers your previous preference but for some reason it keeps changing. Window position\size is also lost. Any ideas? Maybe I have disabled something by accident? Is it possible to reset somehow? Thanks for any help, Jason. |

Its not just Vista - every version of Windows right back to Win95 has done this from time to time. Go into My Computer>>Organise>>Folder and Search Options>>View. Make sure "Remember each folder's view settings" is ticked. Or you could just hit 'reset'. Might work. |

It does that. Somewhere there is an option to "make all folders look like this" but it seldom stays that way. I gave up in the end. |

Thanks for the tips but still no luck. How annoying. This just happened the other day and is now starting to irritate me. If anyone finds a fix then please do let me know. Why can`t these things just work as they should? Jason. |

Why can`t these things just work as they should? Twenty years of co-depending piled-on cruft, written by umpteen thousand programmers... |
