My programs will not keep my settings. In Windows Explorer, I will set the
view of my folders to details, and then when I go in again, it will be
changed back to the default icons. And in Word, when I set my options of
where to save documents, or where my templates are, etc. they have reverted
back to the default when I go back into Word again.

After you set your view in Windows Explorer, go to Tools--Folder Options,
View tab, and click Apply to All Folders, then click Yes.

In Word, go to Tools--Options, File Locations tab. Select Documents then
Modify btn. Do the same for User Templates.
