Hi, Iv'e had this problem before folders view settings will not stay, ie: view as list or thumbnails ect, also view maximized than re-open and it's minimized. This happened after emptying my temp folder and temp internet files. Why? last time I had to re-install m.e overtop of itself and it came back there must be an easier way, does anyone know of it?

I take it you've gone into Folder Options/View tab,and checked "remember each folder's view settings"?
There is a sure-fire way to make them stick,which I have saved...but,I just can't seem to find it right now.I'll get back to you.

After window setting is what you wish ( max.or min.) ie, view, then exit from FILE that way the setting should be remembered, and open the same way when accessed again.

That doesn't always stick,though geezer.It's a known/popular complaint with Windows.

thx shep, checked out the link the keys HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags do not exist and tried the second option to no avail. I have no problem reloading M.E although a pain in the butt. I just can't understand why emptying those temp folders take away that option. I'm still gonna wait to see if the Kid comes up with anything.

I just can't find the D**N thing.It was something along the lines of doing a file search of the entire C drive,then clicking on the "Name" header,just above the list of files,while hitting a certain key...just can't remeber it,or find it.It's now bugging me worse than it is you,Son of Snap! :)
I ain't givin' up yet tho'.

Right click START, regular click EXPLORE,DRIVE C,VIEW, DETAILS.Click on the word "NAME" in the right hand panel,(it's not a file/folder,but the GUI button just above the list of files/folders)press and hold down CTRL while you quit by checking the close in the upper right corner.(Don't use file to quit.)Then release the CTRL key.Restart computer.
