See www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Line 2, left column. This =
REG file will modify the setting that controls this to 8000. See the =
instructions at the top of the page for information on using REG files. =
If you want to change the number to something smaller or larger, right =
click the REG file you downloaded and select Edit. Change both of the =
values for BagMRU Size. This is a hexadecimal number. You can do =
decimal to hex conversion using Calculator in Scientific View.

How much folders does it remember currently, in your system and how did =
you ascertain the value [if you did]?

See below, a previous post by Kelly:
-------------------------------------
Windows [XP] remembers 400 folder settings. When that number is reached =
some settings aren't retained any longer. You can change this to 8000 by =
adding this edit to the registry.=20

Run this edit, then reset your preferred folder options:=20
