Folder options

I have set my folder options to show details but there are some folders that
I would like to have icons (eg Control panel) but no matter what i try i
always end up with a small window with folder details. I have tried dragging
the folder to the size I want and then selecting icons but when i reopen
Control panel it reverts back to "details". Is there some kind of twesak
that I can use (maybe in register) that i can do to have some folders with
icons while others with details.

Hi
My computer>tools>folder options>view>scroll down and make sure
"remember each folder's view settings" is ticked
Click apply to all folders
OK
then open a folder and use the "View" Tab to select your choice for
that particular folder

Sorry Chas. I have already tried that and it doesn't work. However i have
discovered that when I have Control panel open and set it up the way i want
then i go to Folder options, select folder, advanced and then explore and set
as default it seems to work. I only hope that when I reboot that this will
stay that way.
