Thanks Carl.

It's hard to watch with Regmon because so much actually happens.

Unfortunately the servers have been in production for a while and all users
have a profile, so the default profile option is not going to resolve my
immediate requirement.

Cheers,
Jeremy.

When you set the Details view as the default view, explorer does the
following:

1. Sets the registry value
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Settings to
a binary value.

2. Sets the registry value
HKCU\Software\Microosft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Defaults\{F3
364BA0-65B9-11CE-A9BA-00AA004AE837} to a
binary value. I have also seen it set {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
so you might have to do both. I think it
depends on if you set the defaults using My Computer or Explorer.

3. Deletes the keys under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags.

Try watching it using Regmon after going to Tools > Folder Options > View >
Apply to Other Folders.

I find the easiest way to set this is to log on as a user, set the Details
view, and copy the profile to Default User so
all new users (or users with reset profiles) get the Details view.

Hi,

 

Does anyone know how I can go about forcing all users to receive the details
view within Windows Explorer by applying registry hacks for Windows 2000 and
2003?

 

I know that you have to delete the following two keys...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags

 

...but I'm having trouble working the rest out.

 

Cheers,

Jeremy.
