Keeping Same Folder Display Options

[abu_has_the_power]

i have a bunch of stuff in my pictures, and every time i open the folder, i want it to display in thumbnail mode and everything is arranged by time modified. rite now, every time i open the folder, everythings in tiles mode and arranged by name. how do i make it stay at thumbnails and arrange by modified? stupid bill gates. :angry:

Abu do you have in folder options , remember each folder's view settings checked?
Reason I ask, is I had a few problems with my camera software changing everything. Then a friend suggested that fix. Hope it helps. :)

yea, it's already checked. ok. usually after a restart, the my pics folder goes back to tiles. this time, i just booted, and my pics is the same way i left it. :w00t:

thanks anyway!

better just to go to microsoft's site, get Tweak UI for XP, and use that to change the default number of folder view settings that Windows remembers.
