I am having a problem with the icons in my folders. Maybe someone can help me out. My computer runs on XP and one day I cut on the computer and all my folders' icons seemed to reset to tile view. Now, no matter what I do, they always reset to tile view when I go back into the folder. I have tried everything I can think of. I have even tried a system restore and manipulated some keys in the registry but no luck. Does anyone have any idea what this problem might be?
Thanks
Select the type of view you want (large, small, details, list, etc.)
Click the View menu again
Select Arrange Icons
Select the type of arrange and if you want Auto Arrange
Look at your folder view. This will be the folder view that you will set as your default folder view if you continue. If you are not happy, continue to adjust the methods of viewing and arranging.
When I tried this I got the same problem, the folders changed but now they are stuck in their current view. Could I possibly be missing a registry key or something like that?
On that same tab, in the Advanced settings, make sure that "Remember each folder's view settings" is checked, or try clicking the Restore Defaults button.
I went to it and it was already checked. I had done most of these steps previously so I figured it must be some other issue that is causing the problem. Are there any other solutions I could try?
