I still have a problem with the FOLDER SETTINGS. 1) I open the Windows Explorer and adjust the window to the size of approximately half a screen. 2)Then I select |Tools |Folder Options|View|Apply to All Folders| 3)The next time the Explorer is opened it appears in the proper size. So far so good. 4) I select |My Docs| and adjust the window to the size of approximately half a screen 5)Then I select |Tools |Folder Options|View|Apply to All Folders| 6)The next time |My Docs| is opened it appears in the desired size. OK. But now the Explorer has lost its carefully adjusted settings and returned to the Windows defaults! In other words, if I fix the WINDOWS EXPLORER then MY DOCS gets messed up and if I fix MY DOCS then the EXPLORER gets fouled up. Anybody knows a solution to this PITA? K. Rainer
