Locking 'View' Preference

gyron1 — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 12:53:47 GMT

A little help please. Not so much a problem, more of a nuisance!
I keep all the Letters & Reports that I write in a Folder in 'My Documents\Letters & Reports'. My preference, because there are so many, is to show the contents of this folder as a 'List'. Although choosing the 'List' option, for some reason every time I log-on and re-open this folder all its contents are shown as 'Tiles'.
Is there ant way I can 'lock' the 'List' preference so that it always stays as such?
Thanks in advance for any help to this annoying glitch.

Hi Gyron,

Here is a guide to the different ways to customise your XP folders, How to modify your folder view settings or to customize a folder if after following one of the ways to change the folder's view and applying the changes your folder settings are still lost then see below..

Here is one possible solution, does this Your view settings or customizations for a folder are lost or incorrect MS knowledge base offer a solution..?

I would be wise to back up the registry first though, here is a link on different ways to do this.
