Hi 



I have a weird issue
I was hoping someone can assist with.  I want to set Windows Explorer View
to Details for all users.  However it always defaults back to Icons View when 
user logs
out/in (even on the same server).  We don't use roaming profiles.
 Only local profiles are used which are deleted nightly. Ive attempted the
following based on numerous posts that I have read to no avail 



1) Type:  Change
user /install 

Open Explorer.exe 

Go to menu [Tools,
Folder Options, View] and set performance of the folder to detail

Close Explorer 

Go back to dosbox and
type: change user /execute 



2) Login as a test
user.  Set Folder options to Detail.  Logout.  Using an admin
account copy profile to default user 



Any thoughts/ideas on this one?  I think its really strange that my test user 
isn't retaining the Detail view setting using a local profile.  Ive ruled out 
profile corruption by testing with multiple accounts on differrent servers - 
same issue.  Im happy to run a script via GPO that
sets the relevant HKCU key.  Just need to know what key to update to fix
the issue

Windows 2003R2
XenApp 4.5

Thanks
Ang
