Arkan Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Ok, so since I purchased my new phone, I've been taking many many pictures. I store them on my computer and crop/edit them as needed. That's all well and good. But for some reason, windows keeps resetting the folder view options and I can't figure out how to make them stick. For ease of use, I like to sort by date modified so I can easily find the newest pics first. I also use thumbnails (of course), but every time I open the folder again, it reverts back to sorting by name and no thumbnails. Why would it do this? How do I fix it/make the settings stick? Thanks. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Control Panel > Folder Options > View > Remember each folder's view settings I think that should do the trick. Probably works in Vista as well, but on XP right now so I can't check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bokishi Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 It's already enabled in Vista. It's just that the games explorer window keeps resetting its views options occasionally Current 3DMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taks Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 if you want all of your folders the same: open up some folder (any will do), then set up the folder as you wish (toolbars, list/details/icons, etc.), then tools->folder options (gets you to sort of the same place as control panel->folder options), then set up each of the tabs as you wish. under the view tab, hit the "apply to all folders" button to make all folders the same (going through control panel won't allow this button press). taks comrade taks... just because.
