| 262619 | 2004-08-17 11:53:00 | It forgets them straight away even though the setting is ticked under folder options view. Any ideas why ? Thanks |

| 262620 | 2004-08-17 20:02:00 | Phil 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? robo. |

| 262623 | 2004-08-19 12:28:00 | I went to the MS site, did the deed & it didn't work. Do you have to reset all folders before the 8000 kicks in ? | phil.b (4456) | ||
