Full Version: 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?

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.

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.
TweakUI: The download link is in the right column, down the page.

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.
