The limit can be upped to 8000, but how are you reaching the 5000 limit so
quickly?

In Vista, 'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam' shouldn't have any
subkeys, just the 'BagMRU Size' value. Unless they're created in a
networked environment -- I'm on a stand-alone machine. The saved folder
views are under:

"HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags"

Yes, provided there's not a saved view for the folder that specifies a
different template. In my testing, a FolderType designation via desktop.ini
is only applied if there is no saved view. (Example: If you customize a
folder as Music, then open the desktop.ini file from that folder, close the
folder, edit desktop.ini to change to foldertype to Pictures, save the
desktop.ini file, open & close an unrelated folder to clear Explorer's
memory, then open the folder you modified again, it will still use the Music
template)

Don't know why it's growing so fast. For an other test I cleared all the
entrys again yesterday at 1:00pm (GMT+1) and added the 'AllFolders' entry
again. Now there are allready 164 new entrys. My computer was shutdown from
yesterday 8:00pm (GMT+1) till today 7:00pm (GMT+1). So there are a maximum
of 8 hours of work. That meens during the last 8 hours I was openig a new
folder in windows explorer every 3 minutes?

I must have schizophrenia, because I can't remember that. Maybe it's too
late for me and I am allready crazy. It's time for me to consult a
psychiatrist, so I apologize for nerving you with my disease;-)

Greetings

Michael

There'll be a numbered bag key created for any folder you open or browse
through to get to another folder either via Explorer or the Common Open/Save
dialog. So 164 isn't outrageous.

If it climbs up to 5000 real fast, I would guess some software may be
accessing folders in way that causes a view to be saved. If that happens, I
would use RegMon to find out what program. If it comes to that post back &
I'll help with the details.
