i hate Vista

How about Vista utiltiies (Control panel, networks, printers, etc)
forgetting window size at random? Not just WinExplorer.
But that's fine, because after all we don't go there often.

However, when WinExplorer is programmed to start with a certain view/folder
open (for example: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, /root,
C:\zJOBS\zNEWEST-zReducedContr)
it works for like a few hours, and then suddenly forgets window size, or
sorting, listing or just turns on "tags" and turns off "type"

WHO DA HELL NEEDS GOD DA***MN TAGS EVER? Who added this useless stuff into
WinExploer, OK OK you can keep it.
But why do you turn off "Type" column because it's all pictures and you
THINK I don't need Type column, yet I need tags or "date picture taken".

They can shove this Explorer in their rear exit.

Not sure why you posted that link. It has nothing to do with the
problem described. Trying to blame everything on malware.

To be honest, that was my first thought when reading the OP.
Shouldn't we know what kind of protection JEWboy uses?
Come on, let's be objective here and not try to blame Vista for the user's
incompetence, unless we have all the facts.

This website explains it.

I applied the fix and it no longer changes folder views.

Try it yourself. Create a folder on your c: and note the columns. (for
me it shows filename, date modified, file type, size) Then copy a .jpg
file into it. Change directories and go back into the new folder with
the .jpg in it. Note the columns have changed (filename, size, rating).

Apply the reg fix from the above link, reboot, and try it again.
Fixed. No malware, no user incompetence, just vista.

Incompetence is saying "I haven't noticed it. So it doesn't exist. So it
must be malware"

Technology is not meant for everyone.
Some should stick with a pencil and paper, but make sure to get a BIG
eraser.
