that recently showed up.

1.) My computer icon I originally setup to show tiles but every time I reboot they go to "list". My other folders that I have setup up to view as TILE remain the unchanged.
2.) My "Status" bar for Recycle bin doesn't stay shown I have to keep selecting "Status" each time I open up the Recycle Bin.
 
This may help: By default XP remembers only 400 folder settings. After that it is first in, first out. You can increase this number by adding a D-Word called BagMRU Size with the value 000003e8 (or decimal 1000) to these registry keys
1:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell
2:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam
 
Open Explorer (not internet explorer) and set it up the way you want it. Tiles, status bar, etc. Then under "tools" select "folder options". Select "view" tab. Click "apply to all folders".



Good info from yoyo as well.
 
When you follow xiforce's advice, at the same time you need to go to Folder Options - View - and put a tick in "Remember Each Folder's View Settings". Then check "Apply To All Folders"

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
