What I believe I did to make settings stick is:
- on a folder icon, right click -> Properties
- click on the "Edit File Type" icon besides "Type: dir"
- click on "Embedding" tab
- in the list "Service Preference Order" put your favoured view to the top of 
the list, hit ok to confirm

I hope it helps. I can't remember if I did anything else, but I *think* that's 
it.
