 |
|
I use TweakUI for XP SP 2, and I was having trouble keeping the folder
settings.
So, I opened the registry and looked at what TweakUI had entered. It was
NOT the same as what Microsoft had recommended on their website.
The numbers were correct and the placement were correct, BUT, where the
correct way to have the entries is BagMRU Size, TweakUI has it entered it as
Bag MRU Size - with a space inbetween the Bag and the MRU.
After hand correcting this, my folders are now keeping their settings.
Is there anyone else that has noticed this error, and if so, is there any way
to advise Microsoft's TweakUI developers of this of this error in their
program?
Thanks! |

TweakUI was not written by MS, it's not part of Windows, and MS doesn't
support it:

du jour ...
I thought that the original PowerToys were written after-hours and
unofficially by MS programmers and released via MS's web site as a
courtesy to customers. I understand that MS has never supported
them but they're still distributed via MS's web site. What has
always puzzled me is why MS never incorporated the many nifty toys
into base Windows. It isn't that these things are necessarily
dangerous, they are, in my view, worthwhile additions to the O/S
and should be supported.
