Making the Folders Stick

Have you ever had problems where you set the particular Windows Folder settings and it does not "stick"?? Sometimes, the folder settings were even applied to other folders?

This is a fix I have found for this problem. Take note that when you apply the settings, all your previous folder settings will disappear:

  1. Run Regedit and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
  2. if the key doesn't exist, create a key, Shell
  3. if the key doesn't exist, create a key, ShellNoRoam
  4. Go to key Shell
  5. Create a new DWORD, BagMRU Size
  6. Enter the value 8000 in decimal
  7. Go to key ShellNoRoam
  8. Create a new DWORD, BagMRU Size
  9. Enter the value 8000 in decimal
  10. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
  11. Create a new DWORD, NoSaveSettings
  12. The value should be default 0
That's all to it...
