Confusing Folder Headers;-Folders in Thread Opening with Media and Photo Header Bars.

[sassofalco]

Recently while in the process of trying without success, to reset my Vista Reliability Scores on my Laptop, I have noticed another issue which is rather perplexing and has me confused .

When I opened Windows Explorer to navigate to the Reliability Monitor via the recommended path; C:\Program Data\Microsoft\RAC, and then in turn to the Published Data and State Data Folders, this course of events happened.

Note the change of Folder Header Lists that happens throughout the navigation process;


Click on Start>Computer

This appears to have opened to 'normal' Folder Heading List settings.



Computer - C:

This has opened with Folder Heading List settings for Photo Files??



Computer - C:\Program Data

This too has opened with Folder Heading List settings for Photo Files??



Computer - C:\Program Data\Microsoft

Again, this has also opened with Folder Heading List settings for Photo Files??



Computer - C:\Program Data\Microsoft\RAC

However, this has opened with Folder Heading List settings for Music Files??



Computer - C:\Program Data\Microsoft\RAC\Published Data

Then this has reverted and opened with Folder Heading List settings back to
Photo Files???



Computer - C:\Program Data\Microsoft\RAC\State Data

And finally, yet another change as this opens with Folder Heading List settings
as Music Files again.


This random changeover from one type of Folder settings to another, and from one step to the next, has really got me beat. I have no idea on how to correct this.

Any advice and suggestions volunteered, will be much appreciated.

Hi Tony,

I would recommend to just reset the folder view settings using Method Two in this tutorial below. Afterwards, Vista should remember your folder view settings for the window for when it was last closed at that file path location.

Windows Explorer Folder View settings

Hope this helps,
