Looking for Folder view Parameters

Postby Guest » Thu Dec 15, 2005 4:08 am

Where in the registry are the parameters for the individual folder
views.

I would like to export them so that I can easily reconfigure the ones
I have ICON view for when I change something else.

thanks

Try here:
http://www.tweakxp.com/article37555.aspx

There's an assload of settings where that site says they're kept.
(HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags)

Personally, I'd rather just go in and fix them manually rather than
try to mess with all that.

While we're off track here...
My laptop no longer shows "view as slideshow" if it's in a directory that
is nothing but jpg's. (Like ExpertGPS map files, just to stay with the
group charter ;-)
I can double-click on a jpg, and it opens in LView, like I want it to, so
the associations are right, but the folder doesn't have the additional
properties in the left pane. A right-click doesn't offer "view-filmstrip"
either. My desktop works the way I expect, and I don't know when the
laptop might have changed its mind. Both WinXP-SP2, fully patched.
I have tried stare-and-compare on the registry entries, but I can't find
the problem.

I tried that. I can't remember why it didn't work. I think pictures
didn't come up as an option, or it had no effect.

Deleting the "bag" registry entries mentioned here fixed the problem.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags]

In prowling the MS KnowledgeBase, I stumbled across something about a limit
on how many folders you could customize, and I was over that number. I
uncreased the limit, but that didn't help. I think the problem started
when I said "Apply to all folders" in the folder options panel. I think I
will just adjust folders as I visit them. There are so many on a standard
Windows install that I will never visit ;-)--

The only thing I that brings to mind is thumbnail view (Under the
views dropdown tool bar).
