Guest SunshineDi Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Folders do not keep the viewing options we'd like. They keep resetting to "Detailed" and keep resetting the size of the window to 3/4 the page rectangular. So say for instance, we have one folder on our desktop that has 5 files in it. When it comes up I'd like for it to view "Icons" and to be a long rectangular box at the bottom of my monitor screen. It used to do this, but now it views as "Detailed" and a bigger window in the middle of my monitor. I can reset it and it will keep that setting (mostly) until we reboot (which every night we turn off the computer). I think I remember a long time ago having this problem on our other computer and someone in this forum game me some change to the registry, but I can't find that anywhere. Thanks, ~Diane

Guest SunshineDi Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Re: Folders views keep changing No, I did not miss it. My point was that we've had panda for ever and this problem only started recently. So I do not see that panda could be the problem. I could see if we had just recently downloaded it and then started having the problem, but you have given me no explanation as to why this is happening all of sudden after we have had it for years. What I stated at first was that this happened on the other computer we have and someone in this forum gave me a fix for it that changed a value in the registry. Do you, or anyone else out there, know this fix?

Guest R. McCarty Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Re: Folders views keep changing Folder views are stored in "Bags" and the number of available bags is controlled by a Registry Key called BagMRU size. What may have triggered the loss of views is the maximum number was reached and the values rolled over. It's generally recommended to set the BagMRU size value to 5000 or greater ( Decimal, not Hexadecimal ). In some cases it's necessary to increase the retention count and also remove existing bags and have to reset particular folder views to a preferred size & location.

Guest Rey Santos Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 RE: Folders views keep changing Try these: Open an instance of Windows Explorer. Set it the way you like it: size, position, file views, etc..Now close the window by holding down the Ctrl key and mouse left clicking the close button on the top right of the windows (red X).

Guest PA Bear [MS MVP] Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Re: Folders views keep changing The question remains: How did that Registry value get changed in the first place? Chances are it was done by one or more of your security applications.

Guest SunshineDi Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Re: Folders views keep changing The value was *not* changed. It was 5000 (hex 1388). Changing the value to 8000 fixed my problem. I have a TON of folders on this computer for pictures and videos. I had exceeded the value. My security application was not the problem. It might be more helpful, PA Bear, if you would listen more to what the person is explaining is the problem, rather than just what you think is the problem and being argumentative and rude (ie "Did you miss the "these include but are not limited to" part?").

Guest SunshineDi Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Re: Folders views keep changing I don't know enough about the operating system to know why there would be a limit on it in the first place, and if upping that limit to a real high value would cause problem... maybe someone else knows.
