WinExplorer does not remember folder view settings ? Quantity MFT problem ?

[Guest Frank Callone]

A time ago I setup a folder according to my preferences (e.g. "Details view")

and clicked then

 

Tools->Folder View->View->Apply to all Folders

 

From previous WinXP systems I know that now all Folder should be displayed now as the current.

 

Much to my surprise this is not the case.

 

From time to time I open an existing folder and..... get an "Thumbnails view".

 

Why are soemtimes (but not always) these exceptions?

 

As far as I heard this can be a problem because of too many folders in comparison to

the MFT size.

 

Is this true ? How can I change the amount of space which is defined for directories?

 

I have currently 280000 Files on a 160 GB NTFS formatted hard disc partition
