The location of the BagMRU Size Setting is wrong in this tutorial. It is actually located at HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesLocal SettingsSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsShell
It seems microsoft put the BagMRU Size values in the wrong place in the Vista Registry, MS put these values in the old locations that they were in XP.
See my attachments that show a registry trace on where explorer is looking for this value. The first screen shot is without the setting, the 2nd is with the BagMRU Size value created
The Registry file that will do everything in this tutorial including the proper cache setting is here:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesLocal SettingsSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsShellBagMRU]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesLocal SettingsSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsShellBags]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesLocal SettingsSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsShell]
"BagMRU Size"=dword:00004e20
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesLocal SettingsSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsShellBagsAllFoldersShell]
"FolderType"="NotSpecified"
The folder view cache size can be changed from either locations and change them for both locations. I ran a test and when I change the value in the tutorial at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsShellNoRoamBagMRU Size
is also changed at the location you provided:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesLocal SettingsSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsShellBagMRU Size
Thank you for providing more information on this.
