GUI Issue

[Guest Roger Fink]

I'm having two GUI problems in Windows 2000. Perhaps they are related.

 

In my desktop computer, which is set up the way I want, I'm able to display

the files within the Control Panel as large icons. This is the only folder I

do this with, for the rest I use the details view. Additionally, in the

quicklaunch taskbar, I can arrange the application shortcut icons any way I

want. Both of these aforementioned settings remain reliably consistent.

 

By contrast, the laptop is kind of rebelious. It only allows me to use the

Details view for the Control Panel icons (I can change it but it always

reverts to Details when reopened). Also, the same application shortcut icons

are displayed in alphabetical order from left to right, much like those

files in Windows Explorer are displayed in alphabetical order (I can change

the order but it reverts to alphabetical when I reboot).

 

I'm 300 miles from the desktop but I can fiddle with the laptop if anybody

has any suggestions.
