OK... I'm as green as they come with this stuff.... so please bear with me. I'm trying this out and i'm not getting any results. When i went into the reg the branch, [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell and [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags\AllFolders\Shell]  Didn't exist. All that was there was  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags]  and  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags] So,  I created the rest of the branch, created the keys and set the values exactly as above. Reboot.  open a few folders.... no change...  What am I missing here? Thanks for your time.
