Ken I appreciate that you are trying to help, but you are a little off the mark.
The issue has page after page of posts on various websites pointing out that their icons no longer stay where put after a restart and the folder views are not saved either - example can't save as list view. keeps reverting to small/big icons whatever.
Okay, the issue appears to be the result of Eset removing malware (as I said in an earlier post) following this removal the issue arises.
It is *not* just a general fault, the only time it happens is following the removal of malware, even potential malware as it was in my case.
Furthermore, uninstalling Eset *after* the bug has been discovered does *not* fix the issue, it would appear something is corrupted during the malware removal (again as I said earlier)
Thank you for your interest.
Exactly. I can sign every word. The same issue here. The same symptoms.
