Vista - How can I prevent the FOLDER VIEW from changing in x32 Vista Business SP1?

Since I have been using Vista, I have been frustrated in my ability to
lock a folder's "view" to what I select. I used all of the XP methods
and followed several other "suggestions".

One method I tried was...

- I select the view I want for a specific folder.
- I then select "View | Customize this folder".
- I check the "Apply this template to all subfolders"

I have tried others but what happens is that after a reboot or other
unidentified action, the folder reverts to "detail view".

What I want is to customize the view in certain folders... some using
the "Details" view while others with the "Medium Icons" view. It used
to be so simple with XP.

What might I be missing configuration wise?

Hello Traveller,

Check with METHOD TWO in this tutorial to see if it can help you further.

Windows Explorer Folder View settings

The main thing is that Vista will remember the folder view settings for that specific window for when it was last closed from that specific location.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
