Windows 7 doesn't save folder view settings

Hello,

So here's my problem when I start my laptop the wallpaper is black and never uses the wallpaper i have saved. The real problem I'm having is in Explorer windows, when I change the display "icon size" or "sort by" settings they go back to default once I reopen the folder again. For example in my "Music" folder I'll have them sorted out by artist then when I leave and come back to the "Music" folder it's no longer sorted by artist. But 1 outta 10 times when i start my laptop I can change the folder view and it saves like it used to before but this happens rarely.

Any help please?

This batch file from the tutorial should set them back to the default. Then when you customize them Explorer should remember the customizations for awhile. It seems nothing forces Explorer to remember for very long. A work-around rather than a fix.

You can't Personalize W7, unless it is activated and detected as genuine.

Really ? Is that an established fact ?

Is it also true when you use the Customize this folder option, or the Folder options / Apply to folders button ?

I also experienced some folder view un-stickiness, and thought I was doing something wrong.
