viewing files

iwayne · 07-07-2006, 09:43 AM

I have a question about viewing files. I prefer to view the list, especially when the folder has a lot of files in it. But every time I re-start, the view list option has somehow been overriden; the files are once again arranged by their icons. I've been to the files and folders in control panel and that doesn't work either. Is it possible to set the view-list option and have it remain that way, even after a re-start?

Folder Options > View tab > Advanced settings > Remember each folder's view settings box must be checked.
