remember folder ANNOYING PROBLEM

I know every one here has this default Vista (even XP) problem. The problem
is that the folder customization / layout never stays the way you set it,
even minutes later after closing/re-opening explorer.

This is driving me insane. For example, in explorer under Computer I choose
large icons. Close, re-open its back to list view instead. Sometimes other
folders will somehow change views by themselves too. This is really annoying.

Someone suggested a fix months ago, but I do not remember how. Would
appreciate tips on this. I *do* already have checked on "remember folder's
view settings" enabled as well.

Running:
Vista Ultimate 64bit w/ SP1

I tried this method, made it even worst:

Chad, DON'T make wild statements here!

I NEVER had your problem in XP, and I DON'T have it in Vista.

The prob is not vista, it's YOU!

Relax MS fanboy, don't pop a vessel in your head.

Search Vista forums and you'll see many had the same issue. XP and Vista are
two different OS Einstein.

Hi Chad,

Try Method Two in this tutorial. It will help Vista remember your
folder view settings for a window for when it was last closed.
