I have this same problem, and it is incredibly annoying. When you spend lots and lots of time in front of you computer, you want it to look a certain way. XP is worse than 98 in that respect. I have looked all over the web, and no one seems to have any advice on this issue. This is the worst aspect of what, so far, seems to be a damn good OS. What's really annoying is that folder view and explorer view are the same now. It used to be in 98 that you could set up all your explorer views a certain way (for instance all "detail view"), and then set up a folder view of the same folder differently (for instance, a folder full of nothing but shortcuts could be set to icon view). Now whenever you set one, it changes the other. The views are not independent antmore. Really, really annoying...
