I see the article doesn't spell it out...
"START button, Run, RegEdit", & navigate to...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Exp
lorer

That is,
(a) Click plus signs, beginning at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" & ending with
"Policies".
(b) Click "Explorer" in the left pane, & look in the right pane.
(c) R-Clk "NoSaveSettings", if there, in the R-pane, & select "Modify".
(d) Change it to zeroes: 00 00 00 00. (Use delete key.)
(e) Exit, & it may be necessary to reboot.

WARNING: Do not get carried away in the Registry. It is very important
to the proper functioning of Windows. Muss it badly, & you must boot to
DOS & "Scanreg /Restore". Then, choose the date of the last successful
boot from the five offered.

The rest of this is just informational...

......Start of Other things that may be done there.......
Right-click the right pane and select New, Binary Value, & name it:

| "NoSaveSettings" is not set to 1...

| Changed icon positions on the desktop.
| Windows that are open when you exit.

| | I may have spoken too soon, the problem went away but then came back
| | eventually. I tried deleting ShellIconCache in safe mode but "F/F"
| doesn't
| | find it. I shutdown into DOS and found it listed as SHELLI~1 but
the
| "del"
| | command won't touch it. I also tried the "Rebuild Icons" command in
| | Tweakui, but that didn't fix it either. I also tried increasing the
| | Registry value of Max Cached Icons to 4096, but that did nothing to
| fix the
| | situation.
| |
| | Any other suggestions?

| | The icon cache may be corrupt. Delete it, & let it regenerate.
| | Shelliconcache is a hidden file.
| |
| | (1) "START, Settings, Folder Options, View tab, bolt 'Show all
| files'".
| | Also, UNcheck "Hide file extensions for known file types".
| | (2) Boot to Safe Mode (hold F5 as you boot).
| | (3) "START, Find, F/F, Shelliconcache". R-Clk it & select
"Delete".
| | Reboot to Normal Mode.

| |
| | This is how to increase the ShellIconCache size. It may go as high
| as
| | 4096. (Well, some say 8192.) It has cured, for me, a sluggishness
of
| the
| | drawing of icons, inside Explorer & My Documents (the small ones
to
| left
| | of file names).
| |
| |
| HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\explorer
| | Max Cached Icons 2048 (String value)
| |
| | 1. START; Run; Type "RegEdit" & Enter
| | 2. Click the plus (+) signs in the left pane starting at
| | "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" & ending at "CurrentVersion".
| | 3. Finally, click the key "explorer" in the left pane (not it's
plus
| | sign).
| | 4. In the right pane, R-Clk an empty area; point to "new"; select
| | "string value"; type or paste "Max Cached Icons" & Enter.
| | 5. R-Clk "Max Cached Icons"; select "Modify"; enter "2048" & click
| OK.
| | 6. Close RegEdit & reboot.

| | | I seem to be having trouble retaining high colour rendition of
my
| | icons. My
| | | desktop settings are for 32 bit colour and my desktop wallpaper
&
| | program
| | | windows are rendered correctly but my icons are frequently
| downgraded
| | to 256
| | | colour renditions ( very poor if not 256 colour) which are quite
| hard
| | to
| | | see.
| | |
| | | Does someone understand where this icon colour rendition is
| controlled
| | from
| | | and how I can stop it from changing to low colour rendition?
| | |
| | | Thanks in advance for your attention and help.
