Is there a way to revert setting to be more similar to XP?

I like to navigate my drives via the View Details type setting. In Vista it keeps resetting my folder options randomly. Sometimes it's Icons, sometimes it's big icons, sometimes it's lists.

Further, I like to see the columns be: filename, Date, Size, type
in that order. That too is randomly reset - along with a whole mess of other random columns I don't want don't use. I "fix" it, but then it randomly changes it back.

Am I missing something?
