XP won't retain Folder Options "Details"

I have set XP's Windows Explorer "View" option to "Details" and
gone to "Folder Options" to make this apply to all other folder
views.

I've done this at least eight times. The thing keeps returning to
"Tiles" or "Thumbnail" on its own. Most annoying.

Does anyone know a fix for this? I have Tweak ui but see no easy
work-around here as there was for turning off CD Auto-Insert.

Many thanks!

Travis

Try the ones that delete the Bag and BagMRU Keys, then the ones that increase
the number of bags. (There are scripts to do that.)

I found the following fix on the web, but cannot remember the source.
Paste this into notepad and save it with a ".reg" extension. Double-
click on the new file and your problem is solved.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell]
"BagMRU Size"=dword:00001f40

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam]
"BagMRU Size"=dword:00001f40

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
\Explorer]
"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000
