Im not 100% positive, however your Mac OSX theme might be the culprit. Changing the View tab setting should permanently change the style. Try removing the OS X theme and test.

I agree that this is the most likely culprit. – Fopedush Aug 22 '11 at 17:58
re: "Doesn't help me"... Our task is to help you find the cause of the problem. If your custom theme is causing a problem in windows Explorer, that isn't something we can fix. All we can do is find the cause, and leave you to pursue a solution with the author of the theme itself. Refusing to diagnose your own problem doesn't help anyone at all. – Fopedush Aug 22 '11 at 17:59
@Fopedush I tried to set the default XP theme but the result is same so thats why it didn't help me. Actually I've tried it before posted his answer. – avirk Aug 22 '11 at 18:17

Open Explorer and go to Tools->Folder Options then click on the View tab and edit your settings there. You can then hit Apply to All Folders if you like and the view you've selected should stick.

Nopes doesn't work. – avirk Aug 22 '11 at 17:45
Did you modify the shell in some way? Keltari might be on the right direction, it may be the modified theme. On my stock XP system this method works properly, so something else is causing the reset. – sbtkd85 Aug 22 '11 at 17:59
Shell is change with the themes itself(I think). So if I change the theme then the shell should be change with it if not then how can I fix it? – avirk Aug 22 '11 at 18:18
