Alex -

I'll take what is HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Microsoft Windows
Explorer Streams (and all those folders with numbers) in the Windows ME
registry for $200.00.

Anyone have the answer?

I would have to double check but I'm quite sure that this also applies
to W9x:
Window size and location is not remembered? 22-Sep-99

Which is the same as http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q235994/

Yeah, I know. Some applications also write view keys in there, things
like Adobe and QuackTime and what not. I have an NT4 box here and there
are 201 of these subfolders. They all do the same thing, keep view
preferences for Explorer or different applications. Export the key then
delete the whole whack of them and you will see what happens. At worse
you will have to reset some views to your liking or simply re-import the
file to restore the views.

One potentially useful way to look into this is might be by running
MRUBlaster, from Javacool (of SpywareBlaster fame). Alone or (preferably) in
conjunction with John's suggestions it should help you understand Streams
better - or certain types anyway - because if you have everything checked to
remove, it *will* remove your window, etc settings. But you can scan, and
then see the results, without removing anything.

(Meanwhile MRUBlaster is a quite useful cleanser run occasionally with the
Streams option 'unchecked').

If you mean MRUBlaster, Harry, it's not dangerous. It just removes
relatively unimportant settings. It can be configured to 'shred' temp
internet files and/or cookies too and you can end up deleting cookies you'd
rather have kept while you figure out just how to configure it. But it
doesn't do anything you can't reset if you want (and, as with most
recommended tools, you could ask and get suggestions how to set it up from
whoever recommends it and never even go through the deleting cookies and
window settings (you know, whether windows open full screen or not, that
sort of thing).

If otoh you mean John's registry suggestion, what he said about exporting
the keys before deleting them is wise and makes it likely to be painless. It
is a good idea - always - before editing the registry, to back it up
completely (Scanreg should already have done so 'today' but you may have
made other changes or installed software since turning the machine on, that
you would rather not lose in the event of restoring the registry).

Just do Start/Run and type

SCANREG

hit Enter. Scanreg will open, say the registry has already been backed up
today, would you like to do it again? Click 'yes' and voila! (or wala as
certain people say) you have an up-to-the-minute backup. And nothing John or
I suggested is likely to cause more than very minor inconvenience. However,
if there's no need or desire...
