Just moved to XP ona new Toshiba laptop and have a few basic problems. Folder views. I have gone into control panel after setting up a folder with details view and view files by type. The button to set all folders as the present view is disabled. As I want all my views to be in this format, is there a way to get this button enabled? I have tried resetting all to defaults but that just puts it all back to a list view. The machine will not remember the folder settings for the usb flash drive either. Shortcuts. I have sent several shortcuts to the desktop using the context key and selecting the send to option. If I change the anme of this shortcut on the desktop it will no longer work on the shortcut key I have assigned it. Returning the shortcut name to its original name then allows the shortcut key to operate again. This is particularly annoying as all my shortcuts are now labelled with the words 'shortcut to' in front of the name I actualy want for them. This means I cannot press d for documents for instance. I have to press s over and over as it steps through selecting the shortcuts on the desktop. Any ideas greatly appreciated.
