Win XP Pro folder views aren’t saved in

Despite selecting “Remember each folder’s view settings” in Explorer “Folder Options”, Win XP Pro does not save them. Folders appear to show random views i.e. not all folders show the same view. They trend to defaul to “Icons” or “Tiles”. It is particularly annoying in fodlers with large numbers of files like Windows or Winnt. Scrolling through heaps of files when in “Tiles” view takes so much longer than in “List” view.
