Anando,

thanks for following-up on this. I did exactly what Kelly
writes, and yet nothing happened... F.Y.I, I also tried
what David suggested, which seems to be somewhat
more "radical" in cleaning up the registry, but nothing
changed either.

I find astonishing it is so complicated to solve such an
(apparently) sinple issue. Why the deafult limit has been
set to 400 views in the first place? People use computers
for everything these days. It is only a matter of time
before each one of us hit the 400 remembered view limit.

Regards, Paolo.
