Well, I would like Windows didn't track changes across sessions rather than
losing any other customization I have. I like to stress that out because I
already had to customize a folder twice on Vista. I don't like Windows
loosing my customizations. I'm sorry, but it is somehow a waste of time
having to set the columns properly (not all columns I like were showing up),
then setting their places and so on. In the future I will give up customizing
everything over and over again. I just thought Windows could have a better
way to deal with this.

Just today, not two hours before this post, I created a new folder and there
was Tiles again. So unnerving. But I didn't use Keith's registry
suggestion yet. I will, though, as soon as I get home.

Thank you again,
Andre
