Folder View Options
Click Start Settings Folder Options General tab.
Click "Custom, based on settings you choose", then click the Settings button. Select the settings you want there, and click OK. For Windows Explorer: Open only one instance of Windows Explorer. For a Folder view: Open only one of the folders in question. Click View menu Details, and also adjust any other view settings you want. Hit the F5 key. Click the View menuFolder Options (or Tools menuFolder Options), and click the View tab. Click the "Like Current Folder" button, and click OK. Close Explorer by holding down the CTRL key while clicking the X in the upper right corner. See if that helps. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "REE" wrote in message ...

Folder View Options
Thank you , glee . I think that "Close Explorer by holding down the CTRL
key while clicking the X in the upper right " may have fixed it . I had already gone through the previous steps without success ; but , I did not hold the ctrl key when closing windows explorer . I really appreciate your help and contribution to this forum . I read all your postings . Thanks again . "glee" wrote in message ... Click Start Settings Folder Options General tab.

Folder View Options
Yes, that is the key to getting the setting to stick. Note that Windows only
remembers a set number of folder settings....I forget the number, 200 perhaps...and then it will drop the first folder's settings in order to store the 201st. If you uncheck "Remember each folder's settings" in Folder Options View, you can avoid that but will not have the options to retain individual settings for differing folders.....all your folders will use the same settings. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "REE" wrote in message ...
