Description:
Windows stores each folder's view settings and customizations in the registry. By default, this data is limited to 200 local folders and 200 network folders, for a total of 400 folders (which you can change). The data for folder view settings and customizations is stored in registry keys listed below. By using this teak you are able to clear the customization of all folders in windows. To do this, you have to delete some sub-keys from the windows registry. Go to start > run menu, enter "regedit". Navigate to the registry path listed below [hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\shell\] and delete sub keys "bags" and "bagmru". Than navigate to the another registry path listed below [hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\shellnoroam\] and delete sub keys "bags" and "bagmru". Restart your system for the change to take effect. When editing the registry it is highly recommended to run a quick scan for optimization, you can test your system now for free.
