Folder View always goes back to details.

Hello Miklo,

If you have not already, you might see if using the method in the tutorial below to set a default folder view for all folders and templates may help.

Did you do an upgrade install? Try running sfc /scannow (option 2)--maybe up to 3 times if you find corruption.

Sorry maybe I wasn't clear enough...... I have gone back to factory default 3 times. This is a new computer less than 60 days old and its running Windows 8 X64. Dell Inspiron 660 with 6 GB Ram, Processor is CPU @ 3.40 GHz and I have run SFC scannow and it found no problems. Thanks for your suggestions and Im really curious if this is a common problem or just me. I know...... I know some ppl are gonna say why did you buy a @#$%^ DELL, my answer is that I don't wanna build a computer and I have used for many years and except for the times I get sent to India for tech support(which I rarely use) I have been happy. I got pricing from the company I retired from and that helps a lot. Once upon a time I had a very similar problem with XP but was able to fix using Kelly's Korner.

I see, and you are very welcome. I'd try to return the PC to Dell or at least have Dell fix it under warranty.

Miklo,

Do you have this issue right after doing a factory restore?

If not, then it's most likely being caused by something (ex: program, Windows Update, etc....) you installed afterwards. Create a restore point before installing anything. This way if your folder views start resetting again, you could just do a system restore to undo the cause.

Yes the problem occurs after factory reset and before I start doing any tweaking or downloads,I have thought about getting it back to Dell but I know B4 this happens Im gonna have to deal with some "TECH" telling me to do lame stuff he is reading from a script on his desk and I just don't have the patience for that but I suppose its gonna have to happen if I wanna resolve my problem jeez.......Oh well I was interested to get others ideas and opinions here and I did, I was just hoping maybe it was an easy fix I didn't consider,but the good news is I found this site and everyone was very cool 2me and had good and valid suggestions to try and that's a big plus in my book so thanks guys. Im close but haven't given up yet lol I can be a lil stubborn at times, its just I always think its just a machine and Im smarter than it..... well at least I think so. Many thanks again.
