    folder views


    windows keeps changing my folder view on my usb drives... i have some folders set as small icons, some folders set as medium icons... but windows keeps changing to "details view" and no matter how many times i change it back windows will change it to details view again... it creates a mess in my folders

    Are you unplugging the USB drives after making the changes then plugging them in later? If so such changes will usually be lost. My experience is that changes of Folder views are static for Internal drives but not so much with removable drives.
