I have used the Apply to all folders tab on every occasion but it just won't remember the settings. Also, when I am in a particular directory and select Apply to all folder, it will only apply them to that particular directory I am currently in but not to ANY other part of explorer. Very frustrating. Does anyone have some advice? cheers,	Bazman (6587)

I just cleaned out 3 nasty viruses, s0s.exe, havana.exe and another one, these probably mean nothing to you, but these pests may have been responsible for me not being able to change the settings. I've cleaned out the viruses good I think. I've ran kaspersky, avast and NOD and installed zonealarm pro. the virus may be gone, but i still can't get explorer to save folder settings. just thought u should know. if u still got any more recommendations then shoot for the stars.
