Minor point, I know, but how can I keep icon settings for windows such as My Documents and Control Panel, for example in control panel I want them to be shown as 'icons' not 'tiles' so I switch them to the icon option and click refresh, but once I have restarted the computer the go back to being tiles again, a bit annoying.

Also things such as putting folders in the My documents window in a particular customised order, so not necessarily by name or size just in an order i want them, again i put them in the order I want click refresh and once I've restarted they go back to were they want to be not were I put them.

Any ideas?

There is a regedit @ kelly's Line 54

You can do the same manually:

If XP Home...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
NoSaveSettings
REG_DWORD
0 = Save settings
1 = Do not save settings


If XP Pro...
Start | Run | Type: gpedit.msc | OK |
Navigate to...
Local Computer Policy\User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Desktop\
Don't save settings at exit
Disable/Enable
