Thanks a lot for another great tutorial.

You're most welcome need4steer.

Thank you very much for such a useful tutorial! ^^
I was just wondering if this resets the size of the folder window back to default as well.
Please advise. Thanks!

Hello Aveceux, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Yes. It will reset all folder view settings back to default.

Thank you for your prompt reply and warm welcome, Brink!
Resetting the size of the folder window back to default is exactly what I need!
Thanks again and have a nice day! ^^

You're most welcome Aveceux. I'm happy to hear that you got it sorted.

Thanks Brink! This sure beats hunting down each reg key one by one.

Ok I could've sworn I downloaded a file named 64-bit_Windows_7_Reset_All_Folders_To_Default_Folder_Views a few days ago but now I receive a error message when trying to download the same file, "Invalid Attachment specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator".

The version I downloaded looks like this,

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags]

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU]

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags]

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Wow6432Node\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Wow6432Node\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU]

Your version, of course, has your signature in it. Does it merge the same as the one I downloaded a few days ago?

I don't quite understand what you mean by, "This will not reset any changes made to the folder templates back to default though."

Doesn't this reset all folder view settings back to default regardless of template?
