Any ideas why ?

Thanks

You know, that kind of annoys me too. I tick the box saying remember by folder and it takes absolutely no notice. I have a bunch of folders I prefer to view in different ways, but a detail listing is my preference (along with that I sort by date a lot to find most recent files when there is a mess of file names) and it just does it for every folder.
Anyone got any ideas?

A registry change can increase this to 8000
