Windows doesn't remember "sort by" folder settings

Now, entering the correct command, I received the value of 5000. I deleted the two keys via Regedit and restart pc, but this still does not memorize Author and Subject even combining the deletion of keys with the Shift+Header tip.

Damn! Before you open too many folders, can you check the HKCU\...\Bags registry key? You sholuld only have a few numbered subkeys depending on how may folders you've opened. Export that key & post the export in a code block or as an attachment. Let me take a look at the Sort values..

There are some, but not as many subkeys as before, because I did some tests after the reboot.

Thanks. Will take a look at those later today. Sorry can't get to right away.

I was going to say the same thing, it's in my work schedule, so see you soon.

Here's what was in the registry files you posted. The only sort set to 'Title' was the DVD-RW drive. Had you set other folders to Title or Author?

Code:

PS C:\> gci $xBagMRU -recurse | ? Property -contains 'NodeSlot' |
>>          gp |select NodeSlot, {Get-NSPath $_.PSPath } |sort nodeslot

NodeSlot Get-NSPath $_.PSPath

PS C:\> gci $xbags -Recurse | ? Property -contains Sort |
>>      gp | select @{ N = 'Bag' ; E = {$_.PSPath.Split('\')[10]}}, { Parse-Sort $_.Sort } | Sort {[Int]$_.Bag}

Bag  Parse-Sort $_.Sort

WIll copy the Sort from Bag#2 to one of my folders tomorrow & see if it works.

There is an RW recording unit, but it is inactive and damaged, under the label (G:). Unit (E:) is an internal hdd used as slave.

OK. Valuable feedback. First time I've merged & decoded someone else's MRU list. I think root-levle items are using the names from my system (The Greek letter in Quick Access, D: Recovery, E: DVD-RW). Bukt the drive letters are correcct, right?

Only "D:" and "E:" are correct.

Exactly -- the drive letters are correct, but it's picking up my local labes for those dirves. I know those aren't my directory names!
