'Tools','Folder options', 'View', and 'Apply to Folders'

For that session Explorer looks has I want it to look. Then the next
time I start Explorer after a reboot some of the views have changed. Not
all of them, it seems to be completely random. Even the columns can
change as well as size of the icons. I tried both turning on and off
'Remember each folders settings' but it has no effect.

Can someone please explain this strange behaviour or better still tell
me how to fix it? I've used Vista Business (32 bit) and Explorer is the
on that PC also.

Hi Chas and Doug,

Try doing the Step Two method at this link. It will reset the view settings and allow Vista to remember your last settings again.
