Folder Cache

[JAX]

Is there any advantage in increasing the folder cache from the default of
400 folders to a higher number? If so, what are they?

TIA JAX

JAX;
If you have more than 400 folders and you would like to save your folder
settings, this might be kind of handy.

------------------
Folder Views - Keep Settings

Go to - Start/Run/Regedit and Delete these two keys, reboot then re-set your
folder options.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags

If you prefer not to deal with the registry, you can use the edit from here:

Restore Folder Views (Line 2)

Windows remembers 400 folders. When that number is reached things start to go
wrong. You can up this to 1000 by adding this to the registry. All tested and
working. Things will last a little longer.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell]
"BagMRU Size"=dword:000003e8

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam]
"BagMRU Size"=dword:000003e8

If you prefer not to deal with the registry, you can use the edit from here:

Increase Folder View Options Limit: (Line 2)

Save Settings on Exit (Line 54)

Note: Apply to all folders does not stick:
If you are using TweakUI/Uncheck Only allow Windows Classic Shell

Hi Wes,

I have all the information to accomplish this, I just don't know what I
would want to do it for. For now, I don't think I have a need to do it. It's
just a matter of learning "when" I might need to.


Thanks,
