Make XP Remember the Folder Settings

Sometimes you'll customize a folder and upon restarting you will be shocked to see that the 

changes haven't been saved. In some cases the settings work for few days and then XP forgets 

it. Ever wondered why this happens? Well, This is due to that fact that Windows XP 

remembers the settings for only 400 folders, by default. 

When you customize more folders 

the old settings are lost. To prevent Windows XP forgetting the folder customization, we can 

increase the limit till 8000 (which is the upper limit). 

Set the BagMRU Size to 6000 (Decimal) in the following registry keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam 


Let me remind you that the value that we set is in Decimal and not hex.





NOTE :- Take the backup of your registry (by one of these Software's) before doing any tweak.
