I've understand that the position and size of only 28 windows are saved. How
can I change the 28 limit?
 
I mean the window position and size on the desktop. I understand that the
limit is 28.

Wrong.

Windows XP remembers the settings for 400 folders, by default. It can be
changed to 5000 or 8000 with a couple of registry settings. Supposedly SP2
has fixed this.

Your view settings or customizations for a folder are lost or incorrect
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813711

With settings like:
WinPos800x600(1).bottom
WinPos800x600(1).left
WinPos800x600(1).right
WinPos800x600(1).top
in

Then, obviously, you cannot change it.

This problem occurs because Windows stores each folder's view settings and
customizations in the registry. By default, this data is limited to 200
local folders and 200 network folders, for a total of 400 folders. The data
for folder view settings and customizations is stored in the following
registry keys:

So you agree that 235994 is correct?

Maybe. If it is, I doubt that you can change it.

813711 & 812003 seem to conflict with 235994. Someone who is smarter than
me and who actually knows what's what would have to tell you.

Understanding Saved Views and Browsing Folders
In Windows 2000 Professional, the view you use is not always permanently
saved in Windows Explorer. You can control whether the views you use are
saved permanently or temporarily by using the Remember each folder's view
settings check box on the View tab of the Folder Options dialog box
<quote>

SWAG: If the above is true, then the temporary saved settings are included
in the 28. And the permanent saved settings are included in the 400, etc.

Microsoft must have abandoned Understanding Saved Views and Browsing Folders
from the W2K Resource Kit because the only link I can find is from many of
David Candy's posts where he has pasted the entire thing.
http://groups.google.com/group/micr...wsing+Folders+"&rnum=1&hl=en#30c5b91a1882b493

You might search Google Groups for Folder View & Keith Miller, David Candy
and Ramesh.

It's correct for the version it applies to. Are you running NT 4.0?

You cannot always go by the APPLIES TO in MSKB articles. A lot of them
never get updated to reflect every OS that they apply to.

There are plenty of MSKB articles that the APPLIES TO lists only Windows 95
and 98 and the information still applies to XP.

Here's one for example...

Items in "Open" and "Save As" Dialog Boxes Sorted Incorrectly
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/229070

Heck, some of the APPLIES TO MS-DOS articles apply to XP.

This was my guess...

Until someone straightens me out, that is what I am going to believe.

<quote>
With XP (and all previous versions with minor differences eg 95 stored 29
folders) the last 400 folders are remembered.

XP SP2 boosted it from 400 to 5000 saved folder windows positions. Not
sure what the "28 positions" deal is.
