Re: Folder settings in Vista keep going back to the default settings

that this OS's interaction with the user is close to crap, one can go along
with Vista peacefully. I am one of these... tired users; I keep on posting
my bad news on this newsgroup with the hope that all these "minor"
inconveniences that gear up into pure annoyances will be eventually erased
by the next service pack. Because the way it interacts with the user as of
now, it is a shame. Sometimes, I think of Microsoft being sabotaged by
incompetent project managers - WHY ARE THERE ALL THOSE TUTORIALS TO TEACH ME
WHAT THE OS SHOULD KNOW TO DO BY DEFAULT ? I expect no answer, of course -
beyond swift reparations, or fast decomission, of Vista.
Hi Communikator,

I agree, Vista should be doing this by default. There is a bug somewhere causing this. Hopefully it will be sorted out in the SP1 rumored to be released in the Q1 of 2008. Until then, we always have the tutorials to help us out.
