Even after applying the fix, it works for awhile and comes back, and I have
to re-apply the fix. This causes me to have to go back and reapply other
changes, specifically folder "view" preferences and the "bags8000" registry
edit from Kelly.

How can I permanently force a program to view my files as organized in
explorer.exe through the "open" and "save" dialog boxes.

I have another post for with slow explorer.exe folder access. I think these
two issues may be related.

Thanx all!



Thanx Elmo, that did the trick!

So, can anyone tell me what I did to make it go bad in the first place?
