Default setting for "lists" rather than "icons"

  • Thread starter Thread starter George

The '...\Bags\AllFolders\Shell' key doesn't exist by default under HKLM. However, Explorer does
look for it & will use the information found there IF:

1) There is no saved view for the specific folder being opened ("HKCU\...\ShellNoRoam\Bags\...")

2) No parent of the folder has inheritance set for its subfolders
("HKCU\...\ShellNoRoam\Bags\###\Shell\Inherit")

3) There is no 'AllFolders' info for the current account
("HKCU\...\ShellNoRoam\Bags\AllFolders\Shell")

The entries you found are equivalent to #1

Here's a strange thing <g> I have _no_ "Bag" entries at all in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Shell, but I do have
lots in ...

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1323481731-2514430040-963595328-1006\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags]

... and in ...

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1323481731-2514430040-963595328-1006\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags].

... and I have "Details" selected and have no random reversion
problems.

I have XP2 Prof v2002 SP2.

Taking forever, literally hours, to get thru to here tonight...

Yup. Began to see the light couple of hours ago after playing w/ Kelly's
'bag8000.reg' - which I imported. Goes to show, don't mess w/ the Reg,
without a tutorial first.

It hit me fairly quick that I could duplicate Kelly's file but w/ your
content (as you suggest in "...an easier way...") and hopefully get away
with it. I was just about to try when I decided to better check the email
first.

I note that her following heading entries have a "-" in front:

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags]

and presume this might result in a deletion of those keys. I wonder if that
affected me as couldn't find changes I made before, as based on your post.

In any case, the Kelly import seems to have done it across the board; but
I won't know for sure for couple days. If it didn't, I'll do as you advise.
First, I'd best have a read thru my Reg Help collection, though.

This is the foot-in-mouth kid signing off for now. Let you know.
And thanx for the link too.

Roger. Thanks, Keith. All seems holding w/ Kelly's fix for now. Got tied up
w/ a
trojan (zlob, think it was), etc.. Killed it via DOS, all the way. Real
bugger. 7
files in System32 (hp100.tmp - regenerative) plus some keys in Reg. Won't
implement your fix nor mess w/ Registry unless it breaks again. Let you know.

Thanks loads for now,
