I have tried what you suggested and a few other permiatations and nothing makes any differance. I even cleared out the entire shell and shell no roam keys and got no change. Even my quicklaunch doesn't remember the icon arrangement after reboot. Most non Windows programs remember thier size and such but windows folders do not (except IE and OE). I am just about going to reinstall as it is fairly annoying and I am clueless as to what to try next. Anyone?
