Hi David,
It should read: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ ShellNoRoam "BagMRU Size"=dword:00001f40 I have written Raymond Chen (creator of TweakUI). Will post his comments here. -- All the Best, Kelly MS-MVP Win98/XP [AE-Windows® XP] Troubleshooting Windows XP http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Top 10 Frequently Asked Questions and Answers http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/top10faqs.htm "David M" <david@nospam.com> wrote in message news:05fd01c364a7$ed37d0c0$a401280a@phx.gbl... > I am keen to increase the number of folders that XP saves > the folder config for. > > I have found TweakUI 2.10 has the option to do this and I > have found several refs to the BagMRU settingon the web > e.g. Kelly's corner has a reg file to do this. > > Alas I am confused, TweakUI creates a key called Bag MRU > (with a space) and the refs on the web including the reg > file at Kelly's Corner create the key called BagMRU > without a space. > > Which is the correct name for this key?

Thanks Doug & Kelly
I have used both your programs in the past I would trust these. When I stated I would not trust an exe on the web I was refering to the hacked TweakUI that was being distributed in the tweakXP thread on this subject. I wouldn't trust a hacked version of TweakUI, only one from Microsoft. I hope Kelly can post a reply from Microsoft soon, I have used the reg file from Kelly's corner ( I took out the group policy objects lines as I asumme these are for XP Pro and I am using XP Home ed.) Although this deleted the existing bags which is OK by me as they were in a mess from trying to sort this out I still had some folder settings preserved which has me puzzled where this info is located in the registry. But after applying Kelly's reg file the folder settings I have adjusted since are remembered OK. I am not sure where the settings for some of the existing folders were presevered, e.g I have a "my sounds" folder that retained the music file settings even after deleting the bags as per Kelly's reg file. >-----Original Message----- >Hi David, > >It should read: > >HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ >ShellNoRoam >"BagMRU Size"=dword:00001f40 > >I have written Raymond Chen (creator of TweakUI).

Thank you and you are most welcome! As for Raymond, as I told David, the
mistake has been noted and he will get to fixing it as time allows. -- All the Best, Kelly MS-MVP Win98/XP [AE-Windows® XP] Troubleshooting Windows XP http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Top 10 Frequently Asked Questions and Answers http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/top10faqs.htm "yoyo" <yoyo@picgrab.net> wrote in message news:e8c7bDZZDHA.2236@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl... > Kelly, thanks for letting Raymond Chen know.
