Harold, that bagMRU size is a dword value. In decimal it's 8000 I believe.

I'd like all the folders to open up the same size; I can always adjust them after that. I adjusted one folder, went to Tools, Folder Options, View, and clicked "Apply to All Folders" (in Advanced Settings I already have the box, "Remember each folder's view settings" checked). With all this, the folders open a little larger than I'd like. I know it's "no big deal" ... but compulsives being what they are (or what I am), what can I do? ... Harold Clint's solution ... I think #2 on this page will work for you. <http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm> Now I've never heard of what you describe, what happened with me was when I would arrange the icons in certain orders in certain folders, XP would no longer remember it. That tweak fixed it. I think the default memory is for 200 or 400 total folders, and that tweak sets it to 8000. ... BTW, you'll LOVE that website! ... <http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp.htm> - -Clint Response ... An interesting page Clint. I've seen it before and think it was you who posted it another time for someone else in the group. However, when clicking that second line, "Increase Folder View Size to 8000" ... I get the following page: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/bags8000.reg with the following information: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU][-HKEY _CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags][HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell] "BagMRU Size"=dword:00001f40 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam] "BagMRU Size"=dword:00001f40[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVer sion\Policies\Explorer] "NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000 Now I'm not unfamiliar with the registry but here I don't see where any changes in keys or values are indicated. Any advice with that? Furthermore, what might have happened with the usual way of setting folder size, (Tools, Folder Options, View, etc)? Btw Marlene, if this posting is too long, look what Clint has before me (Something strange here with "AxPsHook", what it is? Plus more mysteries.) ...
