WinExplorer does not remember to open with single pane

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general,microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

I use WinXP Pro/SP1. I have set folders to use Classic View.

My folders always open with a dual pane by default.

If I close the left hand pane and save the folder (for example one
with large icons) then when I reopen the folder it has become a
dual-pane folder and has a folder tree on the left hand side.

How can I get te folder to reopen the way i saved it which is as
just a single pane

Thanks for any help.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

PS: I do not have problems with other folders forgetting their
folder views and I have tried Kelly's tweak on line 2 of
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
which resets the BagMRU sizes:


[-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

Ramesh, if I use the infrmation in this document then I will need
to put it into a registrty key so that when I click on a folder
that has the view set to large icons, then it will open only a
single pane.

But how do I do that?

Cori,

I don't understand why you need to edit the registry. The article states
that the "/e" switch always starts in Explorer mode (two pane).

I am double-clicking or pressing enter to open folders. Thry are
often on the desktop.

I do not want to write a shortcut (which calls Win Explorer and pass
it some parms) for every folder I might open!

I want to double click or press enter. So I figure I need some
change in some central place like the registry.

Open My Computer window.
Click Tools, Folder Options, then click File Types.
From the list, locate the entry FOLDER with extension of (NONE).
Click Advanced, select Open, then Set Default
Click OK and close the dialog.
