How that works is it is "not remembered" since it sets the width for the current content. If I make a new long file name, then I will have to size it again.
That's no setting, it's an action.
Also, some folk install registry cleaners which blow away saved views.
How do I get Windows Explorer to remember my settings when I exit? For instance, if I'm in a folder and click "Size all columns to fit", then I exit Explorer and come back to that folder again, it doesn't remember that I clicked "size all columns to fit" and I have to do it again.
