Vista Tutorial - Folder View keeps changing in Vista 64 Ultimate

11-20-2007

I have chosen the "List" view for my Documents and for My Computer. I have
clicked on Apply to Folders and exited and opened the folder back up.
However, while the initial view is the List view, as I click on various
folders, the view keeps changing. After I select List for each, they remain
that way afterwards, however, I don't understand that something that was so
basic in XP is so complicated in Vista. I do the same thing that I used to
do in XP and yet I cannot get the folders to be consistent in one view. Why?

Hi Chunnel,

You will need to reset the folder views. Method Two in this tutorial will show you how to do this. The download is the easiest way.
