I have WinXP. For some reason my folders randomly resize themselves to the default WinXP size. This is really annoying. Is there a way to stop this?

I'm not sure if this is the same thing you are running into, but everytime I setup a new WinXP system for a client, I must do some manipulating to get the Windows Explorer to stay at my settings and size.

First I set the Explorer up the way I want in one of my main folders, usually using the Details view, adjusting the name and size column width and so forth... then use the Tools menu and the Folder Settings option... in there, use the View Tab and then select Apply to All Folders... this helps at least set all folders to be the same as the one I just set.

Then I have found that I have to actually close the Explorer and re-open it... and XP seems to reset the size... I adjust it and close it again... in some cases I have to do this a few times before the settings latch in... then it seems to be ok after that.
