changing the size may have to do with using explorer to display so many things in the computer.
seems to be a general catch all for displaying different types and things.
guess it gets confused on difference on displaying recycle bin, contacts and files.

each type of thing that needs explorer to display should have its own entries on the registry so it can remember.

Hi,

vista's explorer is always changing his window size on startup and the
details view of my folders. When I resize the window explorer rembers the
size and position for a while. And then suddenly the next time I start the
settings are gone.

I wan't to use the details view for all my folders and and allready tried
the registry hack from Keith Miller (many thanks to him for posting), but
explorer randomly changes the views off various folders to "pictures and
videos" or "documents" even though there are no pictures stored in that
directories.

Is there any way to disable this apparently intelligence?


Greetings

Michael
