I'm using XP Pro SP1.

I have opened the control panel and under view selected icons rather than list (all my other folders are in list view). For some reason Control Panel keeps losing this setting. Sometimes it remembers ocrrectly for a few openings, but it always reverts back to list view after a reboot.

Any suggestions how to fix this little bug?

I'm having the same problem! I keep ALL my views as "icons", but 9 times out of 10, they revert back to "tiles" view. UGH...

Any help to this question will be helping me as well! Thanks!

In folder options, view tab, advanced settings, do you have a check mark beside "remember each folders view settings"?

yeah I have this setting enabled. I have also tried toggling it to see if that would "kick" things back to the way they should be
