Do you think an increase from 5000 to 8000 would really help? I'm running
WinXP SP2, and when SP2 is installed, it's supposed to autmatically change
the "Folder View Limit" to 5000, from the SP1 default setting of 400. I
checked the "BagMTU Size" in my registry, (which I'm pretty sure is the
individual registry key that controls the "Folder View Limit"), to make sure
this value was in place, and it was properly set at 5000, so I'm thinking
there might be something else going on, unless I'm wrong and the BagMTU Size
isn't actually what controls the Folder View Size Limit. I went ahead and
bumped it up from 5000 to 8000 though, to see if it might help. Thanks
