Windows 7 - Turning Off Remember Folder Settings?

Jun 14, 2009

In windows XP, I could turn off the annoying "remember folder settings" that forced each folder to have it's own settings instead of always being in the same as the one I left it when I closed it. Windows 7 does not do that. I can tell it to "make all folders like current" which isn't what I want. Is there an option or was that removed to be made inferior to XP in another way?

"Remember Each Folder's Settings Of View."

Jul 18, 2011

I just got my new computer with Win 7 64bit and while looking at the folder settings I couldn't find the nifty feature that used to be called "Remember each folder's settings of view." in Vista. Does it no longer exist? Is there a way to have this function? It would be a bit of a bummer if not. It's not very convienent to have all the windows open on top of each other.

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64 Bit Does Not Remember Wireless Settings

Aug 1, 2012

As stated in the object everytime Windows gets loaded it always forgets somethings in my wireless LAN connection settings.Either everything is set with automatic IP address (and I actually use TCP/IPv4 manual IP address + DHCP disabled in the DSL router) and automatic DNS addresses, or (if set on manual as it should be) something is randomly missing (i.e. the Gateway, the DNS address, etc., etc.).When rebooting I don't have the feeling that a task is force-closed or that something crashed so there should be no accidental loss of data (?).I use Kaspersky Pure v2.x + Webroot Spy Sweeper (this one with LAN control disabled).

Windows 7 Refuses To Remember Notification Icon Settings

Dec 8, 2011

I have tried to configure some notification icons to display and others to be hidden. Win7 respects my settings during the session but after a reboot they are back to whatever they were before. Its a real productivity killer for me. I am running inside a standard account. I thought about trying to change the settings in the Admin account but the icons I need to customise don't appear there.

When Turning Off Computer & Turning It Back On Again Screen Is Blank

Dec 31, 2012

when my computer goes to sleep after it's on for a while when I move the mouse to get the screen back up it shows the backround no icons or anything to click. Same if I turn it off and turn it back on. I have to turn it off and on many times then go to safe mode and shut down then turn it on again for it to work. Just now I had to turn it on/off 4 times for it to show the icons and task bar. Usually it is left blank with nothing to click having no choice but to turn it off. Norton says no viruses. My computer is HP with windows 7. I bought it in 2011.

'Folder View' Settings Keep Resetting To Default

Aug 6, 2012

I installed a program the other day that messed with my Windows Explorer. Now no folder will remember it's View options (Large Icons, List, Details), they all reset to their default.

As you can see it's nothing to do with Libraries. Neither the 'Shell Fix' nor editing the registry at

has fixed it.

Folder View Settings Changed - How To Reset

Jan 13, 2012

I recently installed an old game. I'm running Win 7 Pro x64 and the game was for XP. I messed with the compatibility settings and I think something went wrong. The folder icons have changed everywhere but on the desktop. The desktop shows the regular aero styled icons. Everywhere else the folder icons are some dumbed-down picture that looks low tech even for XP. Its bright yellow and has no 3D effects. To make it even more frustrating, it only does this when the view is set to details, list, or small icons, which are the only views I ever use. What button did I push and how can I fix this?

How To Get Desktop Folder View Settings Applied To All Others

Aug 24, 2012

For example I have a folder in my desktop with pictures, videos, documents, music, etc. I organized it by grouping by type, somewhere between large & extra large thumbnails, and a few other things. I want these settings applied to all other folders. I went to folder options and applied it to other folders. Nothing changed. My other folders, including my picture folder is still the same way it was. How do I apply to ALL folders? I know you can zoom in on thumbnails by hitting ctrl + mouse scroll wheel, but is there a way you can do it with a keyboard and not the mouse?

Disable Remembering Folder View Settings?

Jan 15, 2012

I am trying to set a default view for all folders, such that when I change the view in an explorer window, it will only take effect for the current explorer window, and will not be saved. Or even better, let me choose when I want to save a view setting as default for the current folder. I do not want to keep resetting my folder view. In Windows 98/XP it was possible.

Access Denied To External Drive - Documents And Settings Folder Locked

Nov 20, 2012

I'm having trouble getting my Documents & Settings folder to copy into my external drive for backup purposes. The external drive already has this folder in place and the proper files and folders within D/S as I have been routinely backing it up for the last few years. However, now when I try to Copy Folder To the external drive, I get the error message that access to the J drive (external drive) is denied. As you can see from the pic below, the D/S folder on my hard drive is apparently locked. I don't recall locking it and how do I unlock it so that I can copy to to the external drive?

Why Can't Windows 7 Remember Window Size & Position Like XP

Jan 7, 2012

What is the rational (if there actually is any) of not allowing one to save window size & position (other than the last window opened)?

Without using a 3rd party program (which seems to be the norm with Win7) has someone found a way to allow saving resized windows other than the last window opened??

Windows Does Not Remember Programs Used To Open A File

Sep 7, 2009

I have some .mkv files on my system.

Windows 7 does not seem to remember the programs that I used to open those files with.

I keep getting the default open with menu option without any available programs and then select a default program.

Even if open the file with WMP64, Winamp, BSplayer or Media Player Classic, those programs do not appear in the open with context menu, and I cant quickly open the file with those programs.

Is there something wrong which I can fix?

Windows 7 Bug Doesn't Remember Admin Password

Feb 22, 2010

I have Windows 7 32-bit(official RTM, clean install) only 1 account on it which of course is Admin.Sometimes when I press the Windows button + l to lock the screen and come back after a few minutes, enter the password but Windows 7 reports it as wrong password all the time. I have had the same password for 3 years so I know for sure I entered it correctly all in lower case. Also, if I deliberately try to enter a wrong password when my normal one doesn't work, I get the white round circle indicating that its being processed. Then after like 3 minutes, Windows 7 reports it as being the wrong password (the correct behavior from Windows 7 would have been to reject the the wrong password immediately).So I have to do a manual shutdown as it's the option left. I have tried to reinstall Windows 7 many times but this problem just keeps happening randomly.

How To Force Windows Remember Shared Drives

Jul 30, 2011

I have two computers running windows 7 in a router LAN. One of the computers have several external drives connected to it. I have shared the drives successfully over the network and the settings remain saved so that I don't have to reshare the drives everytime I log in.However, three of the drives remain unshared after a restart or reboot. Why is that? How can I keep the shared settings for these drives also?
