Hello BJproc,

You might see if applying METHOD TWO in this tutorial may be able to
help you depending on what type of window you are wanting to be
remembered.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

You will just need to open Folder Options from within that window
instead for it not to be grayed out.

thanks again for the very quick reply.

it's not greyed out now, so i take it i have to do the to each folder
for it to remember the settings? or should it apply to every folder
opened?

Yes, it should apply the folder view that is set in that window to all
windows with the same folder template. They will all be set to "All
Items" after applying Method Two though.

However, folder views has always been buggy in Vista, so it may not
always work for you.
