Vista - Folder View Settings

Folder View Settings

I have seen many people with folders' view settings not being
remembered. My issue is that I would like to have folders on the
desktop without the navigation pane. However, getting rid of one
folder's pane gets rid of them all.

Any ideas on how to fix this? Hopefully, it could fix all the other
non-requested changes in folders' views (sort orders not sticking for
example).

Hi DrT,

Vista has a quirk about forgetting the folder view settings for a Windows Explorer window for no apparent reason sometimes. Even with the option you have checked now. Method Two in this tutorial will help Vista remember the folder view settings for when a window was last closed.

Windows Explorer Folder View settings

Hope this helps you,
Shawn
