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

Subject: PCWorks: Re: Adjusting size of folders
Original problem (using in Windows XP) ... 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.
<htt
p://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! ...

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\Shell
NoRoam\BagMRU][-HKEY
_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Ba
gs][HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell]
"BagMRU Size"=dword:00001f40
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoa
m] "BagMRU
Size"=dword:00001f40[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Micr
osoft\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.)
