    What am I missing here that says that you can't simply go back to a point in time before all of the experimentation/whatever began? Even if this means you have to reinstall some program that you've installed in the meantime, I would think that a System Restore would do the job without having to mess around directly with the registry.

    Also go to the following location and delete BagMRU

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam

    This key is not available for me in the registry

    I have never been a fan of System Restore and never have it on it has always failed whenever i had to rely on it.

    The two things that I finally did seems to have worked for me on a 64 bit Windows 7 OS

    1) removed uxtheme patch, will be reinstalling it now

    2) followed steps mentioned in the following article

    Folder Template - Default

    Glad to hear that you've solved the problem.

    I can not recommend the failure to use System Restore points, which is not the same as system repair, sytem image restore.

    System Restore, in Win 7 works perfectly, not like we had in Vista.

    System Restore has saved me from having to do a 100% reinstall several times.

    I recommend using System Restore VERY STRONGLY!

    WIN | type What is System Restore | Enter key

    where WIN is the key with the wavy flag.
    System Restore
    System Restore Point - Create
    Startup Repair
    Backup Complete Computer - Create an Image Backup

    This solved it


    JosephPatrick's linked solution was the one which solved the problem (get ride of Extended Tiles in Explorer.

    I believe my problem resulted from migration from Vista to Windows 7. On my older XP system I just installed Windows 7 and that system did not have Extended Tiles. I believe it was a "lingering effect" of the registry setting for Vista.

    Thank you for the easy and effective solution.
