Dude, it IS a WELL known annoyance. A quick search on Google returns
14,200 hits for "folder view not retained in vista" for just that query.
(wording) I have experienced the same problem with Vista Ultimate.
The first fixes were temporary at best. The problem came back
eventually. You Winders Zealots just crack me up. Any/All OS Zealots for
that matter. Although the OP is "out there" he has a valid complaint here.

Here is a more permanent fix:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell NoRoam\BagMRU]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell NoRoam\Bags]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell \BagMRU]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell \Bags]

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local
Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local
Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local
Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell]
"BagMRU Size"=dword:00004e20

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local
Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\All Folders\Shell]
"FolderType"="NotSpecified"

Save in a text file, and rename with .reg on the end.
(Folder_view_fix.reg or similar.) Then run it, restart your computer.
Problem solved.

...Oh, and no need to be an a_hole

So buy a Mac and stop complaining.

Call your cousins in Tel Aviv to bomb Redmond. They can use the F16's I
ended up paying for.

Then buy a Mac - there is a Hebrew keyboard for it. You can make your
pilgrimage to the Promised Land with a 13" macbook and use iMovie to
document the event.

When dealing with a moron there is no such thing as a valid complaint.

Very helpful if I happen to ever have this problem.

Take your own advice.

Don't pick a fight with an old man.
If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

Five years ago I came to a Chrysler Dealership to buy a Convertible - a
fancar, my first new/unused car due to midlife crisis. Carrying a great
creditcard as unlike today by creditscore was so perfect, I got 0% for a
YEAR on a whopping 10K creditline - part of which I planned to use for a
downpayment.

There was a snobbishly looking Chrysler's salesman who after an arrogant
look at my jeans & T-shirt (I often look simpler than profession or status),
uttered with a grin "you can't buy cars with a creditcard". I said I am
using it for a downpayment, not for entire amount & matter of fact if I wish
I can use all $10K towards $23K Chrysler Sebring
He again gave me a look like I am supposed to beg for Foodstamps, rather
than buying a car. His look was telling me "I got enough buyers to care for
you, we control enough market share to worry about 1 cheap customer"
I'll never forgive Chrysler for that treatment. Their dealership was
overshadowing a much smaller & democratic Nissan. As much as I wanted a
convertible which Nissan didn't have other than a luxury $40K+ unit, I
hopelessly turned around and decided to take a walk around Nissan and GO
HOME. "Forget it, I need more money" I was thinking.

The story ended up with a Nissan salesguy grabbing me by hand and almost
dragging and explaining what I can afford, use creditcard or whatever... 5
years later I am still riding that Nissan and my next car will also be a
Nissan or maybe an American to support American jobs, but NOT Chrysler. In
the following 2 years whenever I used that dealership for service, the same
salesguy recognized & talked to me to see if I can upgrade, etc; even though
it was "sales push" it was classy.

This is a lesson to you Frank/Justin/SpankeyMonkey or whoever your moron
alias is, changing daily.
By telling me "go get a Mac" you may end up like Chrysler and GM one day who
thought they're invicible. At the time Chrysler had an excellent sales
year, today I am not so sure! And if you don't quit telling "go get a Mac",
hell knows maybe people will start getting Macs because of your advise
rather than admitting Vista problems & avoiding them in Windows7.
The problem with WinExplorer forgetting views and insisting on its own
selection of columns, is a problem and NOT a minor nuissance. At least it
didn't exist in WindowsXP.
Stop defending Vista aqs it was indeed a fiasco, Windows7 is trying to undo.
