Increase the number of folder layouts that are kept by Windows in
TWEAKUI.EXE > Explorer > Customizations.
You may have to reset the saved layouts to make this work: Delete the
Registry keys HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell \Bags
and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell \BagMRU, both
with all the subentries, then create new keys "BagMRU" and "Bags"
here.

Try closing Control Panel by holding down Ctrl at the same time as you
click the x in the upper righthand corner. Should hold its setting.
