Disable "Remember each folder's view settings" in Explor

[krige]

Hello,

does anybody know whether and how it's possible to disable "Remember each folder's view settings" in Explorer in a slipstream Windows XP installation disk created using nLite?

Add the next commands in unattended section of nLite:

REG.EXE DELETE "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU" /f
REG.EXE DELETE "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags" /f
REG.EXE ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell" /v "BagMRU Size" /t REG_DWORD /d "00001f40" /f
REG.EXE ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam" /v "BagMRU Size" /t REG_DWORD /d "00001f40" /f
REG.EXE ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v "NoSaveSettings" /t REG_DWORD /d "00000000" /f

Or add the next code in a .reg file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell]
"BagMRU Size"=dword:00001f40

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam]
"BagMRU Size"=dword:00001f40

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000

Thanks a lot! Where do I put the reg file then?

Doesn't matter. You can use .reg file from Windows itself to apply the tweaks.

Hey radix, I have tried with the commands in unattended section of nLite you mentioned but I still have found the option "Remember each folder's view settings" enabled after the installation.

Try this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"ClassicViewState"=dword:00000001
"SuperHidden"=dword:00000001

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell]
"BagMRU Size"=dword:00001f40

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam]
"BagMRU Size"=dword:00001f40

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000

Or add these commands in nLite:

REG.EXE ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v "ClassicViewState" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
REG.EXE ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v "SuperHidden" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
REG.EXE DELETE "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU" /f
REG.EXE DELETE "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags" /f
REG.EXE ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell" /v "BagMRU Size" /t REG_DWORD /d "00001f40" /f
REG.EXE ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam" /v "BagMRU Size" /t REG_DWORD /d "00001f40" /f
REG.EXE ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v "NoSaveSettings" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f

Remember to test first from Windows. Across the board.
