It doesn't matter. Even if I do that it doesn't matter. I've tried repairing
permissions and nothing helps.-Jonas

It doesn't matter. Even if I do that it doesn't matter. I've tried 
repairing permissions and nothing helps.

The settings are stored in the invisible .DS_Store file within each 
directory.  The default view depends on how you opened the folder and 
the settings at a higher level folder.  If things get confused, 
sometimes it's best to just wipe out all the settings then start over.

To erase all the .DS_Store files, use a tool such as OnyX from your 
admin account.

Then open the top-level of the HD itself (double-click on the HD icon 
on your desktop).  Set it up.  Close it.  Then open your home folder 
(shift-cmd-H), set it up, then close it,..

HTH,
- Dan.

Either the Finder prefs are messed up, or the window you went to was  
open before you made the changes.
