Thanks for the tips guys!!!  But, a few people contacted me off-list and I got the 
answer, and it worked!!!!

First, the answer:  Delete the hidden file called "DS_Store" in any folder that is giving 
your "View" troubles.... That's it!  These files can get corrupted.  

You can find these files by using the Finder's search program (COMMAND+F), and 
then adding a second search parameter and make it search for "invisible" files.... 

Then, when you find the "DS_Store" file of the folder that is giving you issues, just 
select it and DELETE!!!  Problems gone, as a new DS_Store file is created 
automatically.... Although I think that you have to logout/login first (that is what I did 
just in case)....

LASTLY, this was a "carry-over" issue that I have been having for MONTHS, and was 
not a result of the upgrade to Panther...  I just got sick of it NOW, that's all!  

All is fixed, thanks to the advice!
