App's folder won't keep view options...

I'm running a G5 with OS X 10.36.

The Applications folders keeps loosing the icon view options that I set when
ever I reboot.

They appear all over lapped on one another. I set it for "keep alphabetical,
right side names, small icons" but the next time I reboot, they are all
scrambled again. I've tried deleting the ds-store file via Terminal, but still
no go.

Any suggestions?

If you set the view options, then close the window, and then open it
again, what happens?

Dave,

The Apps window when ever it is opened again is just fine. It's just not kept
orderly after a reboot.

Have fixed permissions, have cleaned/fixed it with TechTool Pro and Disk
Warrior. Still no go the next day.

You might try deleting the .DS_Store file in the /Applications folder,
logging out and back in and then setting the window preferences the way
you want them.

Long ago, I got frustrated by folder view options that
would be gone the next login. Turned out that the folder(s)
with the problem were owned by the admin account, and the
changes I made in my personal account were cached by Finder
rather than written to .DS_Store (which I did not have
write privileges for)

I logged in as admin, set up the folders the way I liked
them, and that fixed it permanently.
