Closed ghost closed 1 year ago

ghost commented 1 year ago

Hi,in Windows 10,with current shellbags option,when i restart explorer,icons appears not at their size and position. I found a simple solution that I tested and it works.

[Windows Shell - Folder View Settings *] LangSecRef=3025 Detect=HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell Warning=This will delete window size, window position and view setting of all folders. RegKey1=HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags RegKey2=HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU

This way you clean the shellbags without any anomaly.Tested with shellbag analyzer.

JFYI, the entry "Folder View Settings" was not changed during the major overhaul, so it behaves as it has for years. The "problem" with the entry is that it covers all Windows versions (XP-11). Therefore there was a discussion about it earlier and a suggestion to split it: https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/issues/289#issuecomment-402127308

Edit: Sorry, I must not have remembered correctly. The "problem" is not the RegKeys for XP, but that you cannot exclude a single registry value with an ExcludeKey.
