Applications Folder-Settings

HI

I have just set up my new Macbok Pro from a Time Machine and its come out fine except for the fact that

the Applications Folder does not hold its settings. Whenever I reboot or force quit quit Finder it goes back to default settings which

I don't want. I have tried all the different view and clean up settings to try to get it to hold them but no luck.

Is there a plist for this specific folder which has obviously become corrupt?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
