When you click Customize This Folder on the View menu in Windows Explorer,
Windows NT Explorer, or My Computer, click Create Or Edit An HTML
Document, click Next, quit the HTML editor containing the Folder.htt file
for the folder you are customizing, and then click Finish, the View As Web
Page command on the View menu may be selected and other folders may show
Web content.
CAUSE
If you are using Windows Explorer or Windows NT Explorer, this behavior
is by design. The view settings that can be adjusted using the View menu
or a folder's context menu in Windows Explorer or Windows NT Explorer
apply to all folders accessed using that instance of Windows Explorer or
Windows NT Explorer.
If you are using My Computer, this behavior is by design provided you
have enabled the "Open each folder in the same window" option and disabled
the "Remember each folder's view settings" option. In this case, all
folders use the same view settings as the first window opened.
RESOLUTION
If you only want to view specific folders, and not others, as a Web page,
use My Computer instead of Windows Explorer or Windows NT Explorer, and
make sure either the "Open each folder in its own window" or "Remember
each folder's view settings" option is enabled.
