Well, yeah, I suppose, though it does get annoying for I've gotten into setting quite a few folders with unique views, (date / extension / name / position) and every time this I gotta reset, OH-THE-PAIN
I know there's a registry key which stores all the information W98 uses to display the folder,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams
But importing this key is not a sure thing, there may have been 'quicks' introduced into the settings which DON'T get overwritten.
BTW: Ridgerunr, lets see you design a graphical OS.
