As I found from another posting, a quirk of W2K is its short memory span for the
way individual folders are configured. There is a circular list that holds the folder
settings, once set (through the control panel as mentioned). The size of the list
is limited to approximately 400 folders. This limit can be changed with a Registry
setting. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell. Add a new REG_DWORD
value named BagMRU Size. 5,000 was the suggested size in the article I read. Reboot
to make this change take effect. I hope this helps.
