Grid always shows in list view

I'm trying to change the default grid view into 'grid' and not list. Here is what I've done:

1. I deleted the cookies grid_mode and grid_account_mode
2. I changed code of grid.tpl:

from

Code:

---

Only registered members can view the code.

---

to

Code:

---

Only registered members can view the code.

but still nothing is changed. When I refresh the page, it goes back to list view. Even when I change it to grid view manually on the front end, it goes back to list view after refresh. it doesn't store my preference into the cookie.
