jaclaz Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 thanks it helped !Good , which one, specifically?I mean, what did you actually do that solved the issue?jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinifera Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 it didn't actually solved the issue but it reduced "the happening"used the 1st one with deleting all the "bags"unfortunately I don't know what makes OS (from time to time now, before it was constantly), to forget changed setting just for that one folderalso another weird thing, when I ran yesterday for example after "fix", nirsoft's bag view, it wrote "Icons" view, but when I entered the same folder few minutes later it reverted to thumbs againthe only logical explanation I can imagine is that desktop folders share desktop icon size? - as mine on desktop are larger than 32x32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hmmm. Something you can try (NOT on your production system!) could be that of removing SYSTEM write access to that bag,(and/or monitor that particular folder bag with procmon/regmon and find out what service accesses and writes to it changing the value, and in which occasions this happens).jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
