That's the flag my script toggles. I wrote it in a hurry to take care of the most common
manifestation of the problem -- the flag getting set & saved with a folder view. I need to add a
little more to the script to take care of those instances where the user used 'Apply to Folders'
with this flag applied.
Haven't been able to find out what's causing it. I've been asking users who post with the problem
for info but haven't gotten any feedback <Grrrrrrr>
