I'm not sure about 2000, but I'm guessing it's the
same as XP. XP never worked right in the first place.
There's a full explanation at the link. It's a utility for
repairing XP folder settings so that Explorer will obey
your choice and show not only the view but also the
folder window size that you prefer.

I need Windows Explorer to show details. When I turn off the PC, next time
I turn it on, it is automatically reset to showing icons. Anyone know a way
to change the default view so that I can avoid these resetting steps each
time?

Right now, I'm doing it manually like this....Open Windows Explorer. Click
on VIEW DETAILS. Then click on TOOLS FOLDER OPTIONS VIEW (tab) LIKE
CURRENT FOLDER YES OK.

Thanks.
