Guest Zeretul1 Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 I have noticed recently that although I have my folder organization set to Name (alphabetical), when I open the "Open" dialog box in programs and set them to view my folder, they are set in "Modified" (by date) view. The folder is a non-C: drive holding data. My current view is List, and the explorer window itself displays the files in Name order. I recently deleted some hidden files I thought associated with a folder "tweaking" program (change color, background, etc.) do to an unsatisfactory result and noticable folder lag, and now I have encountered this problem. Prior to deleting the files, I did have the folder set to "Modified" by earliest to latest date, and that is what my programs are showing. Is there a way to recreate the necessary files, or restructure the folder to re-establish to correct view settings? Any help will be appreciated. P.S. I still have the folder lag :(

I still have the folder lag :( Open Windows Explorer. On the menu select "Tools" > "Folder Options". Select the "View" tab in the Folder Options dialog. Scroll the list to "Remember each folder's view settings" and check it. Click "Apply" and OK. Now right click the folder you want to change and select the appropriate setting(s). These settings are saved in the registry. Mark
Guest Zeretul1 Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 Re: Folder "Arrange Icons by" error That box is already checked, but I ran through the unchecking, confrming and re-applying steps. Again, the problem is other programs viewing the folder in the "open" dialog window. Nothin I have done so far has fixed that.

Guest Zeretul1 Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 Re: Folder "Arrange Icons by" error Thanx Elmo, that did the trick! So, can anyone tell me what I did to make it go bad in the first place?
