I found the AllFolders key back in XP when I was using RegMon:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sys...es/regmon.mspx
to figure out saved views. If you filter on part of a key name, the data
ceases to be overwhelming. My v7.03 from XP works under Vista -- though the
link above recommends Vista users use Process Explorer:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sys...sexplorer.mspx
but I haven't checked that out yet.
If you get playing with Regmon, pay attention to subkeys/values that
Explorer or whatever program you are interested in is looking for but return
'NOT FOUND' as a result. That's the best clue to the full range of values
that are available.
