Windows Explorer How to remember selected file when using Back btn

I am running Windows XP.

How do I get windows to remember the selected file when returning to
the parent folder?

I know Windows Explorer can do this, I have several installations that
do this, how do I get my other systems to reselect the folder?

For instance:

Double click My Computer.
Double click C:
Double click any folder, "Windows" for example, best not to use the
first one for this example.
Press the Back Space key.

When Explorer re-displays the parent folder, I want the folder,
"Windows" in this example, to still be selected.

Most systems do not re-select the folder. But I have a couple of
systems that do re-select the folder.

How do I get Windows Explorer to re-select that folder, "Windows" in
the example above?

Also, I found that if I go to Tools -> Options -> View and deselect
"Remember each folder's view settings", click Apply, recheck, Click
Apply that the system will no longer remember the selection when
traversing back to the parent folder.
