    If I wanted one default view for local folders and another for =
remote due to speed reasons I can't do that.

Are you saying that the folder contents are not displaying immediately =
with thumbnail extraction happening in the background?

  Thanks it does help but not a whole lot. Here's the annoyance I'm =
having.

  I have a couple of network file servers, I attach to them //ip/share =
instead=20
  of mapping drives (because mapped drives has it's own problems when =
the=20
  servers are not available).

  Because of that any setting I set for folders on these servers doesn't =

  stick. They immediately use the default template next time I attach =
but=20
  depending on what's in the folder at that particular moment determines =
which=20
  default template they are going to use.

  If I knew how the system was determining which default template to use =
I=20
  could at least understand this seemingly inconsistant behavior and =
possibly=20
  avoid it.

  If there was an off switch I could turn this crap off.

  If I wanted one default view for local folders and another for remote =
due to=20
  speed reasons I can't do that.

  See how this gets annoying real quick?

  I'm also leary of setting the default templates (I did set one) =
because I=20
  just know the first service pack is going to reset them all on me and =
undo=20
  my defaults (been there many times) so what I'm going to do is dig =
into the=20
  registry and see if I can find an off switch for this insidious little =

  bastard .

  If I were a programmer I'd write a control panel applet 5 colums of=20
  checkboxes to set all of them on one screen, that's really what MS =
should=20
  have done.
