thank you it's not just me experiencing this... after countless attempts of selecting the current folder view "like current folder" XP would ignore this and randomly change the folder view - some would be grouped, some with images with thumbnails (while others not at all). if i save control panel as icon view then all folders are displayed icon view, i then change my folder view back to details and hey presto, control panel is now details ! i never used to have that problem under 98. i have found little information around that explains this behaviour...
