Windows 7 Permanently folder view

Yes, happens all the time in Vista and Windows 7,

Hope it's fixed in the final release.

I think there's some type of limit and the number of times you change it even if you set it the way you want it and choose Apply to all folders, it reverts to a different view,

I prefer list view myself , except for My pictures

davejhc,

Excellent, it does work with Vista.

What a headache that was for me Base I use Windows Explorer alot

Going to try it on Windows 7 now.

Yes!!!, working fine on Windows 7 as well.

I want to revive this issue, as there has been an update. The problem existed also in Windows Vista. I provided feedback twice on this, with no response. I do not have the problem, but some do. Once again I provided feedback to Microsoft and, Oh my Gosh!, they replied. Here is the answer, so we can stop moaning.

Hello, David,

Thank you for your bug report.

We are unable to reproduce this behavior in later internal builds. Please verify with the next available build release.

Thank you for testing Microsoft Products,

So.It looks like they have solved the problem!!!

Hello Dave,

It all seems to work OK, except when you go to special folders like the Pictures folder.

It that the default behavior?

Yes. That would be a default. It varies according to what you have as your default picture viewer.
The original complaint was for Vista. Whatever size you selected, the next time you opened a window, it popped up at a random size. The earlier posting was the first time I had read it in connection with Windows 7, but I sent it on feedback anyway. Someone there actually reads them!!!

Re: where's the fix?

Could someone reupload the fix? Because everywhere I look there seems to be no help.
