My wife's account still displays Extended Tiles correctly, but mine does not.
I love this view! Halp!
Once your folder views start this sort of corruption, it gets worse from
there. (For example, I've had the Windows folder using a Music Details
template, which can't be changed using Customize, because that tab isn't
available in the Windows folder's Properties, the "Uninstall or Change a
Program" Control Panel using the Contacts folder template (with Import and
Export [contacts] in the Toolbar), just to name a couple of my own folder
view glitches, not to mention the odd Extended Tiles View in Explorer
folders.
Vista is set up to "remember" 5000 folders. That being said, deleting the
following two keys in the registry, will give you a clean slate, and reset
your folders to the defaults. (All remembered folder settings in Windows
Explorer for view state, window position, sort order, column information,
folder type, toolbar toggles, and search result views will be lost, just so
you know what to expect; but any corruption, which indeed does happen, will
also be deleted). The keys in Vista are:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local
Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU
(right-click on the key BagMRU, in the left pane, and choose delete)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local
Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags
(right-click on the key Bags, in the left pane, and choose delete)
Log off and log back on to Windows to re-create the keys (done
automatically), and start anew.

What didn't work for you?
It would be better if you followed up in the original thread.

I even tried this:
1. boot into safe mode
2. In regedit, I searched for "BagMRU" and deleted -all- instances of
it until running a registry search for "BagMRU" turned up no results.
And whenever I found a key next to "BagMRU" named "Bags", I deleted it,
too.
3. logged off and back on.
I've searched and searched on the internet, and everyone seems to get
this problem fixed by deleting these registry keys.... but doing so
didn't fix it for me.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks.
