Guest Deeswift Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 .:. XP FOLDER VIEW FIX .:. Sometimes Windows XP can forget it's folder view settings and be a real pain in the neck. If you find that you're constantly having to switch views, for example, if you set a folder full of mp3's to display as a list but every time you exit and come back to the folder it's changed to tiles, thumbnails, etc, there's a reason for it. Windows XP by default is only set to remember the view settings for 400 folders. After that, it overwrites the settings of the oldest folders. You can increase the folder view to 8,000. Download the fix below. This is a tiny 12kb .exe which allows you to change the amount of folder views (up to 8,000): DOWNLOAD TO USE: Download, set the amount of folder settings to be remembered. Restart your PC, then go to any folder and switch to any desired view. Exit the folder, then go back. It should now be as you left it. Hopefully. If it doesn't work, it's because Windows XP is stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Yeah something's wrong here. It does say .reg but when you save it, it turns into .mp3. Rename it to a .reg extension and then double click it to merge it into the registry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Also, if you have Tweak UI, go to Explorer then Customizations and you can change the number of folders to remember there. The way posted above is simpler though - dunno why it saves as an mp3 mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
