In the Games folder the icon views keep changing to different views. I have folder options set to remember the last view used but it never does. Is it just me or is this a common issue in Vista?

Freecell by Cao Black
I stopped AND saved a game of Freecell mid-game (Vista Home Premium). When I next played, I completed that game, but now whenever I start Freecell it always opens to that saved game, even though I completed and won it. Is there a way to correct this?
