| | View Constantly Changing, Doesn't Save It seems like I've tried storing view options in Windows Explorer a million times, but it does not hold the settings. This is in both Vista 32 and Vista 64. After configuring columns (adding, removing, ordering) I go to Tools > Folder Options > View. Select "Apply to Folders". But as I navigate through directories in WE... sometimes just drilling down into subdirectories I'm subjected to this insane, constant switching from Detail view (what I normally prefer) to List view, to Small Icons to Large Icons... And the columns continuously change as well. I usually just care about Size and Date Modified. But often I hit a directory (perhaps one that contains media files) and it drops BOTH of these columns and instead presents only things like Artist and Rating. Utterly useless and something I NEVER configure to. Can someone help please? Thank you. |
