328814 2005-02-28 03:07:00 For some reason unknown the Explorer window [& other related windows] now presents the files in date order rather than alphabetical.
[My Computer window lists in alphabetical File Type order !!]

Despite resetting via Tools/Folder Options/View/Like Current Folder/Yes/Apply or OK
to the desired alphabetical presentation, the next such window opened reverts to date order.

How do I convince Windows 98SE2 to remember such settings ?

328815 2005-02-28 03:20:00 Have you ensured that only one Explorer window is open when you apply the desired settings? FoxyMX (5)
328816 2005-02-28 05:06:00 Yes only a singlewindow open roygretn (989)
328817 2005-02-28 06:43:00 When you close Explorer hold down the Ctrl key before clicking on the X to close the window and keep holding it down until the Explorer window has gone.

Hopefully that will fix it.
