Windows 7 - Annoying Folder Type Glitch

Hey everyone. I decided to try and solve an annoying glitch Windows 7 seems to have. As you all know, you can customize your personal folders (ie: view type, and data seen: "Name", "Date modified", "Type", etc.) and you can change the "folder type" for a particular folder, as well as it's sub-folders (ie: "Document", "Pictures", "General", etc.). Now the strange glitch here, is that when you change the folder contents a bit (like say, add a photo to a "documents" folder), you may come to find that the folder is changed, regardless of how you previously set it manually. This can get annoying after a while, setting a folder's properties to your personal liking over and over. I have a harddrive where I am trying to organize a mass amount of folders and as you can imagine going back to set these folders how I manually would like them to look, over and over, is very tedious. One particular problem I noticed is how changing the folder name, tends to change the "Folder Type" you manually set, for said folder. Would anyone know how I can rename a folder, and have it keep the properties I manually set for it ("Folder Type", "View Type", etc.)?
