Can't fix Control Panel default view: small icons

[Gerry Peters]

When I open Control Panel I prefer the small icon view not the Category view. For the years I've used Win 10, it has always opened to small icon view. And if it was Category view, all I'd need to do is use small icon view and it was then fixed for the next time I opened Control Panel.

Recently it's been stuck on Category view, I've tried the 2 common fixes for this:

REGEDIT ForceClassicControlPanel = 1

Or the Group Policy fix, since i have Win 10 Pro.

The only thing I can think of is the change I made to the aerolite Theme to make thicker borders on windows. Maybe this is a bug or a OS corruption.

Any suggestions on fixing this?

I'm sure others here may be able to help but, since you posted in the Win 7 forum and you have Win 10, it might be more effective to post at tenforums.com.

Thank you. While trying to find a solution one post sent me to seven forums. When I posted I thought I was in ten forums. I was wondering why I got no replies and couldn't find my post. You've really helped me out - thanks!
