Hello Rick, R> There are some windows gurus on here and I think the answer if known R> would benefit all
R> Here's what I want to do R> I want certain folders, when opened from ANY APPLICATION to always R> open with thumbnails enabled the way MY PICTURES does.

Here using Win XP pro I go to START > CONTROL PANEL > FOLDER OPTIONS and click on the VIEW tab. Near the bottom of the folder options is a one which says "Remember each folder's view settings". Although for me that selection was already ticked, I too had been having problems with photo folders opening showing DETAILS instead of thumbnails regardless of which state they were in when I last closed them. I un-ticked the option and then re-ticked it which caused the APPLY button to become active. I clicked on APPLY and closed CONTROL PANEL. I then went to a pictures folder and opened it (it opened in DETAILS view) and changed the view to THUMBNAILS and closed the folder. When I re-opened the folder, it was still set to THUMBNAILS. I changed the VIEW to DETAILS, closed the folder and then re-opened it to find that it was still set to DETAILS. I changed the VIEW again back to THUMBNAILS, closed the folder and then re-opened it to find the view still set to THUMBNAILS. So it would seem that somewhere along the way that option became corrupted. It appears that un-ticking and re-ticking the "Remember each folder's view settings" has fixed the corruption. Thanks for your question, it's helped me and might help you. -- Jack LaRosa mailto:jlar...@charter.net Sticking with with The Bat! ver: 3.99.3 for now.
