Thanks Keith, it worked.
I am not sure exactly what I did that caused it, but I have been trying to
get explorer to stick with the "List View" Setting. I can't stand it
changing for every folder. However, regardless of unchecking "Remember each
folder's view settings" and clicking the "Apply to all Folders" button, I
cannot get the "List View" to stick. Perhaps playing with these settings
caused the problem.
Any ideas on how I can get the "List View" to stick to all folders?
The article that Alexsey referenced suggests that if one was to delete all
subkeys of
HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags,
then it would reset all folder settings. The script you provided did update
these subkeys to fix the problem.
Thanks again,
Eran

It's a quirk that's been showing up on some machines. Don't know what
causes it. Can you think of what apps you accessed this folder with or
anything you did differently with it?
Here's a bare-bones script that should fix the problem. Right-click the
link & select 'Save to Disk'

Close all explorer windows before running the script. Log off & back on
after running the script before you open any Explorer windows.
