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/

be only 28 entries. I have 80. Scratching head. What happens should I delete
them. My settings will ______???

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.

Thanks again, John.
Great idea. Will do.
Your helpfulness is appreciated. :-)

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').

Mighty dangerous waters to sail in, Shane.
Too dangerous for me, anyway. H.
