How about rembering folder views, window size and other details such as status bar?
Even after changing the number of folders to remember (setting BAGS MRU Size) and deleting Shell No Roam Bag MRU and Shell No Roam Bags in the registry ...the settings don't last. There is no way to turn off "folder sniffing"... and I suspect being able to turn it off would probably fix this problem.
The fix: Don't open any more folders.
I'm resigned to periodically re-setting this based on how many different folders I open. I open up about a hundred folders a day and don't care how XP opens them. After opening up fifty or sixty different folders XP forgets the six folders that I want my way: IE cache, C: Programs, C:Windows and three folders on my D Drive.
Anybody else?
