Is there any update to this issue? My problem is similar. I set the folder Fences to "view" and then "list", but every time I reboot or reset the desktop, I have to go back and reset the folder Fences back to list. 

Well, I was looking a better answer then no, go away. Pardon my sarcasm, but all Windows programs have configuration files that are used to save settings. They used to be quite obvious and were called batch files in old days. Now they're called config or .ini files, which can be disguised or hidden in any one of a thousand program files. I would appreciate a better answer for a product I've purchased and been using for a very long time.
