494730 2006-10-27 06:15:00 Win xp home with sp2: Classic view.

I have my files set in "View" to "Details"

Some folders,(eg control panel) set to icons.

However in the last few days have switched themselves to view mode. I change them back to icons, but next time I open the folder they have reverted to details.

Can anyone tell me why? And how to stop this happening.

This should save the setting.

It's possible that some patches/updates are causing it to revert back. I know some like to change things back to icons which is damn horrible. :)
