persistence

when "Services" opens, it's in Extended View.

i prefer Standard view.

i also prefer this column layout:

    Status  | Startup Type  |  Log On As  | Name | Description

because when I expand all columns via Ctrl+(numeric keypad "+")
what i need to see most i can view without being forced to scroll
to the right.

Problem: my preferred layout does not persist.

QUESTION: how can i force Windows (2008 R2, 7, XP, et cetera) to remmember my settings?

thnx / g.
