Double Click this registry File ; 3. Restart Computer before doing anything else ; 4. Once restarted, bring up explorer again and put the Check back that was removed in step 1. ; 5. All folders on the computer should now be in the "All Items" format. Since Auto Discovery is now off ; you will need to go to your shell folders (Pictures, Videos, Contacts, Music, etc.) and set them to the ; template you want, apply to subfolders, etc. ; Clear out Folder Settings left over from XP: [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU] [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags] [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU] [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags] ; Clear out Folder Settings for Vista [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU] [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags] ; Modify the Folder Storage space to 20000, this will allow the saving of settings for up to 20000 different folders. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell] "BagMRU Size"=dword:00004e20 ; Turn off Vista's Auto Template Discovery. This keeps vista from deciding on it's own what type ; of Folder you have (ie, picture, videos, docs, etc) This will keep vista from changing what you ; have already set for a folder as well. Notice this value is in the Bags Key that was deleted ; in the settings above. Remember this is there because if you decide to manually go delete ; your Bags Key, you will lose this value and auto-discovery will turn back on again. ;[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell] ;"FolderType"="NotSpecified"
