I have XP Home with Firefox and just recently when downloading pictures the target folder has decided to switch from "Thumbnail View" to "List" I know that I can switch it back to Thumbnail but once I save the picture and find something else the folder is back in List. I know it is not the end of the world if I download the same image twice but it is extremely irritating having to keep switching back to Thumbnail view. Does any kind person know where I have to kick the bloody machine to make it recognize that I want my settings not its? In a similar vein every so often I want to e,g. delete a folder and a comment box pops up with something along the lines of "You can't do this because another program or something is using it". I DON'T CARE, is there a Ctrl + something etc that will force the computer to do what I want, not what it wants please?

As for setting the default view to thumbnails, right click on the folder , click on properties and make sure it is set to pictures or photos. That way, it won't keep reverting to list view. As for getting your PC to do what you want to do, that's just Windows for you.
