Did you ever get an answer to this issue? I found the same problem and I am using the following:
AutoCAD 2007 SP1
Windows Vista 64
I can change explorer views in any program and have them "stick" except AutoCAD. Drives me CRAZY! I hate the large icon view which is the default in Vista and 7.I always switch to Details view in every case where I use explorer (including file open dialog boxes, etc).

The view you want in AutoCAD must be the default view set in Windows Explorer (and must display file extensions) for it to have a chance to display: a Windows restart and your Windows login being at local Admin level minimum may be required.
Try a program called TweakUI from Microsoft (admittedly I do not know if there is Vista or Win 7 version or if it is even needed)
Under Explorer; Customizations; set Folders to Remember to something high.
