Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to keep my settings from changing in explorer?
I set my window to view file details and expand the details width to
be able to view the entire file name, size, date etc. and the next
time I view a folder I have to do it all over again. Also I set the
view for files by name and it keeps changing from ascending order to
descending order for no reason. When I change the view a couple of
times and go back to names it puts them back in ascending order. How
do I keep these settings from changing ? I can find nothing on this in
the help.

Thanks
Malcolm

Sorry for the semi-lame reply, but I came across the answer to this
about a week ago and I can't remember the solution at 4 in the morning
(I had a different explorer problem). What I do remember is that I
found it after entering the following search on AltaVista (or maybe
HotBot):

+"windows explorer" +"command line" +undocumented

If no one gives a better reply, you should be able to find your answer
there (btw the solution did not involve a command line fix).

Regards,

Jon
