Re: Vista Explorer Remembering Folder View Settings

I haven't seen this on my machine yet, I think view handling has been
improved somewhat.

One thing to remember about saved views is that they're unique for each
namespace path:

"Desktop\<UserName>\Documents"

can have one view saved and

"Desktop\Computer\C:\Users\<Username>\Documents"

can have a different saved view. So all subfolders of <UserName> can have
two different saved views.

I'm curious about one thing: do you have explorer set to "Launch folder
windows in a seperate process"? I don't -- and I'm wondering if multiple
instances of explorer may sometimes be at odds with each other.

P.S. I saw this question in the file_management group as well --
crossposting is preferred to multiposting -- that way a response from one
group shows in all.
