My Documents

[thescruff]

I set all my documents as show list, but it keeps changing to icons

Is there anyway to stop it changing, it don't do it all the time.

Click on "documents"

Then top right icon "Change you view"

Select the option you want...

Do that wine~o but next time I open it's back to icons.

Open regedit, by going to Start -> Run -> type regedit and press Enter. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam. Right-click on the ShellNoRoam key, choose Export and save the file (This backs-up the current settings. To be extra safe create a system restore point). Delete the two keys below. Reboot and re-set your folder options.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags

Up to XP SP2 Explorer will only remember 200 local folder settings. With XP SP2 it will remember 5000 settings. By deleting the reg keys I mentioned in the earlier post you'll reset the views and the view count. More information is available here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813711

You may have hit the nail on the head in that case Rich.

At the last count there was 170,000 files and folders.

Ish, and growing.
