    Right click "Arrange By" Options No Longer Stay Customized


    I've been having trouble keeping the right click "Arrange By" options customized... I have to keep going through the list and re-checking the options I need - (i.e. - Date Modified - Size - Etc). This problem started a few months ago... I'm not sure what caused it - or how to fix it.

    I have a W7 64-bit OS.

    Hello Rick, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    If you like, resetting all folder views back to default may allow them to stick afterwards. :)

    Folder View Settings - Reset All to Default
