Vista - Windows Explorer > View > Choose Details

Every time I access Vista's Windows Explorer the choices in what to view are
always the same: Name, Size, Date, Tags, Date taken OR Date Modified. Even
though I change the choices I prefer through View > Choose Details and
deselect Date taken and Tags, then go into Tools > Folder Options and select
View "Apply to Folders", once I access Windows Explorer again after rebooting
it's back to the original Name, Size, Date, Tags, and Date taken or Modified.
Is there something I'm missing where I can only have what I want which is
always Name, Size, and Date each time I return? Thanks so much.

Am I missing something here?

Hi Wala Wala,

Method one in this tutorial is the normal way to reset the folder views. If your lucky, then that will be all you need to do (A few clicks). Method two is for when Vista will not remember your view settings, even after you reset them from method one.

It does seem like Vista has a problem remembering the folder views at first. Once one does method two, they should not have a problem with it again.
