I agree that it needs to be fixed. The whole folder view situation is
just to flakey in Vista. I just does not look like you will be able to
get to work the way you want it to until they can get this fixed.
Sorry,
Shawn

I can certainly understand your desire that the folder properties are stable
in use. But this is not Microsoft you are talking to. We are a bunch of
users (peers) who try to help when we can.
I must say you have had extraordinary luck in your statement about prior
versions being as stable as you wish. I have used every version of Windows
since 3.11, and I have never found any version that would retain all folder
settings for any significant time. Resetting folder properties is a way of
life in Windows. I hope someone here can suggest a fix for your problem, but
frankly I doubt it, nor do I believe that XP "worked every time!" It
certainly didn't in the fourteen XP machines I was responsible for. Nor was
there a patch or fix for it in XP. Good luck!

Hello Shawn,
I have much appreciated your help, thanks again.
last night I have installed another software I currently use, Eagle
from Cadsoft for my electronic designs, and at that time I definitively
decided to switch back to XP (after having tried an XP install on an
alternate disk before).
although the new computer I'm starting with is 6 times faster than the
last one (GCC compile under Eclipse), the graphical display under Eagle
is catastrophic : several seconds to display a drawing with a normal
grid on, while it's immediate under XP.
I don't want to spend any more time, I think that I could encounter
other problems in the near future with the present version of Vista.
I also can say that during the Vista installation I have got several
program crashes, for instance the video driver and manager for the ATI
HD2400 XT card, Catalyst, crachses under Vista when the 3D configuration
menu is selected, it works perfectly under XP.
Characters display seems to be better under XP too.
I'm sorry, but I will use Vista when it will become impossible to do
otherwise, unless a certified 'bugless' version will be available.
I'm using so many professional tools that I cannot take the risk, and
I'm not sure that they are all Vista compatible at that time.

changing everytime you go back to the folder to view? I am having the same
problem. can you direct me to the solution about this?
thanks, Phil
