View Menu (Icons vs Details)

While in Windows Explorer, I prefer to have my files shown in the View/Detail setting, while in Control Panel I want the option set for Icons. In My Music I want the files shown in the Detail View while in several others I choose to have them shown in the Icons View.

Under Tools/Folder Options, I’ve checked the box noting to "Remember each folder’s view settingâ€, but it does NOT work. If I go to Control Panel after setting another folder once AGAIN to View/Details, then Control Panel shows up in the View/Details mode.

Is there some other setting I need to make to assure that each folder stays the way I want it to?

Thanks.

 

Windows Doesn't Remember Folder Settings might be the fix you need.

If not, post back.

 

Newt,

I'll check your suggestion out and will let you know if it doesn't work.

Hopefully it will. Might take a few days to see, but thanks for the lead.
