Sort by Name?

Here's a strange problem: I can't get my folder settings to stick in XP. I'll tell it to, say, sort a folder by date-modified and display in details mode, and it'll stay that way for a while, but then (at random times, it seems, for random folders) it will get changed to something else (say, sorted by name and displayed as filmstrip). I have "remember each folder's view settings" enabled, and I tried increasing the "folders to remember" in Tweak-UI to 1000. It seems to happen at random times to random folders, for no apparent reason. Any ideas?

I have XP SP2, and Tweak-UI created those keys for me when I increased 'folders to remember.' I have it set at only 1000, but I'm sure I don't daily access more than 1000 folders... Anyone else?
