Vista - vista won't retain folder location

Running Vista 32 and although " remember each folders view setting " is
checked in Folder Options / view each folder seems to revert to the default
view - re-arranging icons and view size and locaiton. I've searched google
and tried a lot of fixes unsuccessfully. IIRC XP had the same issue. Any
thoughts ?

Hello Wonderman,

Method Two in this tutorial will reset the folder view settings to have Vista remember them again.

Windows Explorer Folder View settings

Hope this helps,

Yes, I had found this and tried it again unsuccessfully. Interestingly
enough it works on some and not others.

Wonderman,

Folder Views in Vista is still buggy. I noticed that it usually does not work or work well when there have been a lot of manual folder view changes done afterwards. Vista tends to mess up and lose it's folder view setting memory again. Interesting indeed.

I was able to change my default directory in Windows Explorer some time ago, however...

I would like to be able to change the default directory when a window opens up for other things like "Save As..." from multiple programs (it's not program specific), attaching files to emails or for uploading to websites, etc.

It doesn't always default to the last string that I selected and it's a big irritant having to navigate through my file tree every time I want to attach or upload a file. It usually wants to save to (or attach from) my "C:\Users\Owner\Documents" folder.
