I am using Vista x64 and let's say you click start then double click on computer then double click your harddrive and it pulls up all the folders etc....Mine keeps changing the folder view on some sub folders so I change it back and go out, but when I go back in they are all resized again.

I can't for the life of me figure out why it keeps doing this by itself. I can't find any viruses or anything so not sure why it does it? It also takes away my drop down boxes in each folder like type, size, date modified etc....and just leaves the name box

Have you tried using the option to force all your folders to one particular type/view? I don;t run Vista anymore but I think it's somewhere in the folder options possibly. I remember the option being in Vista somewhere, I think XP had it as well.

Open Folder Options by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Folder Options.

Awesome, thanks for the links. It seems to be working now after I followed their advice, but will monitor. I think our computers are already sentient and do these little things to screw with our minds. :lol2:
