85664 2002-10-03 03:15:00 On XP, how does one set up individual windows to display in a pre-determined way? Each time I set up control panel to show icons and have a window smaller than 80% of the screen, it forgets it next time I go back. However, I want explorer to show list with details, not icons. Is it possible to preset the individual windows?

Many thanks.

You can also make sure under View, (still under folder options) to make sure the tick is in "remember each folders view settings" and this will leave them in detail or icon as you left them.

I have checked the tick box for Remember each folders' view settings; XP remembers until turn my PC off then the windows all need resetting. Is there somewhere else that overrides this?
