Windows

if it is any comfort, i have seen this problem in passing. sorry, have not yet been able to test a solution but in addition to folder view settings i uncheck box that says 'retain each folders own view' or whatever. then i click button to say, 'make all folders view like this one' then apply and ok (already). if you have tried all that and no joy, see about repairing ie or look up symptoms in mskb at support.microsoft.com and be ready for points when i post this question when somebody paying me to fix (smile).

See my response to your other posting of this question.
