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.
