      It's not been fixed although there is a workaround on the web. See here or google for "vista forgetting folder type".

      Thanks, Jon, I'll try that. It's also very annoying when the files in an Open File dialog are shown as BIG icons.

      Cheers, Vikram.

        The Vista Explorer has a real problem with that. It is very frequently showing the wrong set of columns for my files. Every time, I have to go into "Customize This Folder" to set it back to normal. Hopefully, this is fixed in SP1.

        Not fixed with SP1. There is a registry hack for it though. http://www.helpwithwindows.com/WindowsVista/Fix_Windows_Vista_Folder_Templates.html[^]

          ...Microsoft still hasn't added what I think would be a really useful feature: Resize the folder/explorer window so that the window fits the contents of the folder. I suppose I'm unique that I look at folders in "detail" mode rather than pretty and useless icons, but when I have a folder that's got only 5 or 6 items in it (say shortcuts to remote desktops), wouldn't it be nice if the explorer window would actually size itself to just fit the files/shortcuts? And why it thinks that a folder of remote desktop and VPN connection shortcuts has anything to do with pictures, changing the header to "Date taken, tags, size, rating" still baffles me. Marc

          Add me to that unique list... ;) . I hate icon views. As for your problem, If you have a folder with .RDP files and use it often, just right click on the taskbar, add a new toolbar and point to that folder. Bingo, you have a popup list of your RDC's right on your taskar. It's a saviour for me, I have about 10 .RDP files in it.:-O

            I hate Windows Explorer in Vista. It's the biggest piece of shit I've ever seen.

              I had to download a 3rd party explorer so that I could get a file explorer that runs as root administrator. I was trying o rename a bunch of files that happened to be in the programs directory so I either had to answer UAC's questions for every file or find a better way.

                  I know, I know. But I put folders on my desktop with shortcuts to things, whereas using TC requires running an app. Marc

                    I have TC running 24/7. IT has the wonder full feature where you double click the bar where it displays your path, and it shows you a list of shortcuts (that you can of course add, I even have a VS2005 Prompt one, you can even save both source and target dirs in the 'view').

                        And a complete waste of a pretty pink dress. Just ask Marc...
