I have two folders on my external hard drive that wont keep my folder setttings. I open the folder and all the files are scattered all over the place. I have to go to [show view options] then [show icon preview] and [arrange by date modified]. This works for a while then if i restart the computer the folder is back to being scattered. Is there a way to fix this?
 
Is there a way to fix this?

It's probably a permissions thing or some settng <shrug> but one easy way to fix it might be to create a new folder, move the contents of the messed folder to it, delete the now empty old folder and rename the new one.
 
ok, thanks for the help, though about doing that. i appreciate the help
