Re: Old chestnut - Vista forgets folder settings

Hi,

I have applied the registry files that clear and increase the BAGS
settings as well as disabling the automatic applying of folder
templates.

Vista still does not remember my folder settings (the option is
selected). The *only* thing that helps is to revert to Windows Classic
theme. It's not foolproof, but livable with.

I want to use Aero so has anybody any idea why Aero is part of the
picture? Only one of my three Vista PCs is affected for some reason.

I have given up trying to fix this particular problem. The best I could attain was for most Explorer-like windows such as Control Panel, Computer etc. to remember their settings but actual Windows Explorer did not no matter how many registry fixes and other remedies were applied. Then, and for no particular reason, Windows Explorer started remembering its settings but everything else started forgetting theirs. Now it's returned to the first state. It's really quite pathetic. I have just grown accustomed to opening Windows Explorer and resizing it as desired (again) and selecting the appropriate view settings (again) every time I boot the machine.

So despite what others may tell you, there is no real fix for this problem. People will tell you it has nothing to do with Vista and that your firewall software is to blame. This is also bollocks as I have disabled mine for some time and the settings still don't get remembered in a consistent fashion. As to what part Aero plays I can't say as I have not experimented with anything else.
