    locking a folder's layout setting


    Recently I've found a few of my regular folders defaulting to detail view after so long. I think certain games that change resolution might be affecting this as it only happened recently and has become frequent. This doesn't affect all folders, only certain key ones. I don't want them resetting to detail view. I have tried setting optimuzed view for folders but this always resets.

    How can I just lock the view for folders? I want some to stay as large icons, other as list and this constant resetting is getting annoying.

    I have found Windows 7 lacking in its ability to remember windows settings, aka, amnesia.

    The perfect solution, at least that I have found, is ShellFolderFix: http:https://www.sevenforums.com/customization/40916-shellfolderfix-manage-folder-window-positions-size.html//

Having issues when in a folder. The layout will automatically go back to details even if I change to large/medium icons, list, etc. If I have the folder sorted by date modified it returns to alphabetical. Really annoying, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
