Posted October 25, 200717 yr 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?
