Folder View settings not sticking

I am having a problem with the folder views sticking in XP. I have several shortut folders on my desktop to my most frequently used folders on my C: drive. I prefer using the icon view rather than the list view. Try as I might, I can not get the icon view to stay between PC restarts. I have checked the folder option "Remember each folder's view setting". 2000 never behaved this way, and it is most maddening. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Rick
