Is thier a way to force XP to remember the folder view settings on the open boxes and on removable media folders?

On normal local explorer windows it remembers its settings fine but for floppies, CD-ROMs etc it doesn't seem to remember... even if I use the shift+close option.

Also the services applet which I use alot doesn't save its view settings which is a real annoyance cus I have to keep maximising it... widening the columns and reorganising the list before i can use it.

In the folder options screen, get an open explorer screen set the way you like, and choose the option that say make all folders look like current folder.
