Windows Explorer Views

[Ramesh [MS-MVP]]

Below is a note from Kelly Theriot - MVP
====================================================
Windows [XP] remembers 400 folder settings. When that number is reached some
settings aren't retained any longer. You can change this to 8000 by adding
this edit to the registry.

Run this edit, then reset your preferred folder options:

Increase Folder View Options Limit: (Line 2):

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it and
answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by right
clicking on the file and selecting Edit.
====================================================


NOTE: The above procedure will not work for a "Common Dialog box" File >
Open > SaveAs dialogs.

I have a problem with windows explorer. I have my view options set up to
remember view settings on exit. Unfortunately, it doesn't remember for long.
I keep some views as icons, some as detail, some as thumbnail, etc. After a
while, they all seem to revert back to detail. What am I doing wrong??

Any ideas??????

Go to http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
and get the registry tweak on line 2, left, to up the number of retained
views to 8000
