Display settings revert to default

Using XPPro, I'll open a folder expecting to see a list with details for files contained in the folder. Instead I see icons.

Sometimes in Explorer I expect to see previously selected views only to see default views.

And so on. This make me think that some in the Registry, a specific number of display settings are allowed and when you go beyond that number the newest setting is stored and the earliest setting returns to default.

True? If so, how do I increase the number.

Thanks in advance, Joe

 

If you want "detail" view for all folders,go here and scroll down to #85,click on it and when the next box opens up select open.
