Saving Explorer Folder View


Recommended Posts

Hi there, I've been battling with this all day, I've read on several places in this forum about exporting the following registry entry to save the way folders are viewed in Windows Explorer:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams]

"Settings"=

I have also exported this setting as well:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\1\Desktop]

"ItemPos1280x1024(1)"=

then I've messed up my folder views, applied to all folders, restarted, applied the previously saved reg entries, then restarted, but on restart things aren't back to how I want them (how things were when I exported those reg entries).

I've tried RegShot and it it only says I am adjusting those same 2 settings, but in the HKEY_USERS string, not the HKCU?!

What on earth am I doing wrong?

thanks.

HKU and HKCU are the same registry hive; they map to one another. Read the UA Guide on the registry.

In an unattended setting, you should use HKCU.

Kindly consult these previous threads: there're more registry settings than what you've mentioned.
