I change folder View to Thumbnails & it changes back

I must have done something wrong. Now when I set a folder view to Thumbnails, leave the folder, and come back, view is back to Icon. If I set Thumbnails, Tools, View, Apply to all Folders, I cannot change back to Icons. This is something new for me.

Hi wahlroot. Read this, Windows XP forgets your folder settings.

And this, My view settings or customizations for a folder are lost or incorrect.

Iwent to Shell and ShellNoRoam and found 2 Bag MRU Sizes, 1 5000 and 1 500 in each place. I removed the 500, and it did not help. I then changed each to 8000, and that did not help. I rebooted and that did not help. I found the same things in HKEY_USERS, so maybe everything should be fine.
