| | Why does Vista randomly reset my folder view settings? For no apparent reason, in Windows Vista (Ultimate, but presumably in the other editions), the view settings I assign to a folder (e.g. List View with only Size, Type and Date Modified columns) will just reset to what I assume is the default (e.g. a small folder window with different columns)!!! This is bugging the crap out of me. I can't figure this out. I spent a lot of time going back and re-customizing all my folders because Vista decides to modify them even though I have all the settings for the folder views set correctly. It's completely random. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix? Any advice? Thanks in advance. |
