The downside is that it??™s a little cumbersome
to type it all out, and the options are rather limited. Here??™s how you do it:
Figure 3-8. The Advanced Folder Options dialog box is a flexible, customizable list
of Registry settings
Registry Tasks and Tools | 105
The Registry
1. Open the Registry Editor.
2. Expand the branches to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder.
Take a look at the keys inside of the Folder key. The structure of the
hierarchy in the Folder Options window is reproduced here in the Registry,
although the list items will appear in a different order than their
corresponding Registry entries. This is because the captions in the
Folder Options list aren??™t necessarily the same as the names of the corresponding
Registry keys here, yet both collections are sorted alphabetically.
For example, the Remember each folder??™s view settings option is
represented by the ClassicViewState key in the Registry.
3. Take this opportunity to back up the entire branch by highlighting the
Advanced key and selecting Export from the File menu. This way, you??™ll
be able to easily restore the defaults without having to reinstall Windows.
4. At this point, you can remove any unwanted entries by deleting the corresponding
keys from this branch; the Text value in each key should be
enough to explain what each key is for.
5. To add a new item, start by simply creating a new subkey in the
Advanced key.
