That's odd. I always set explorer that way myself, but I have the
same desktop.ini file and the same behavior in the fonts directory
on both XP and 95.
Apparently you can modify all sorts of folder behavior with these
magic options in desktop.ini files. Search for desktop.ini in google.
Or you can create a desktop.ini file with those two lines, put it in
your windows fonts directory, and you'll see what I mean when you use
a standard file open dialog.
