Hmmmm?

What is ShellNoRoam? It'd make a great band name. CCleaner always finds those files and lists them as the scum that they are. I always delete them. But really, what kind of files are they?

Nobody?

I Googled for it and found

This is what i did and it worked great for me.

 

If you've ticked "Remember each folder's view settings" in "My Computer", "Tools",

"Folder Options", "Views"

 

Then go to here in the registry

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU

and

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags

Delete the Keys "BagsMRU" and "Bags".

Restart Windows.

 

Then go to:-

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell

and add a DWORD called

BagMRU Size

and give it a value of

000003e8

Then go to :-

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam

make a DWORD called

BagMRU Size

and give it a value of

000003e8

 

Now you can change each folder to the way you want them and the setting will stay

for at least 1000 views.

On my old PIII it is set to 1388

 

Its a Most Recently Used ( MRU ) indicator.

I believe they're used to store windows folder settings, and the details of up to 400 folders are stored.

 

You can change this number with TweakUI.

Ah, now I know. An MUI indicator. Thanks.

 

No, I'm not going in with a pair of tweezers to pry apart my Registry. I'll leave it alone. I was just curious what they were because they have the coolest name.

ShellNoRoam reminds me of a Metallica song title.

TweakUI is a pretty good Microsoft tool (power toy) for making minor changes to a whole host of things in XP, and the beauty of it is the ability to change things back just as easily.

I've had TweakUI for years now. But I only use it superficially. I don't get into the super detailed guts of it.
