Frequent Browsing Causes Explorer Settings to Revert (158458)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q158458 SUMMARY
Windows NT 4.0 maintains user settings for the first 50 open folders in
Windows Explorer on a most recently used (MRU) basis. Frequent browsing of
local and remote drives can cause settings to revert from these user-
defined values back to the original settings.
MORE INFORMATION
Information on viewing folders is stored in the registry. The hard-coded
number 50 was selected as a compromise between the competing needs of
controlling registry size and enhancing usability.
There is no way to increase the number of Windows settings saved.
