Where are the folder view thumbnail settings stored?

I have a number of folders that I set to thumbnail view in Explorer using the
Classic Folder format. This format will hold for a while, but often when I
reboot, the Thumbnail setting is forgotten and the folders default back to
the detail view. I don't want to have to click on the Views-Thumbnail option
for each folder when this happens (25-50 folders in all). Is there some
place or way to easily set a number of folders to thumbnail view (registry
setting, some hidden folder option controls, etc.?) I have tried to find
what actually changes and where the info is stored when the Views thumbnail
is selected, but so far, no success.

Thanks for any help in advance.

I think (I M NOT SHURE) cache for all folders settings are in

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags

You can change the size (number of folders in cache)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell
"BagMRU Size"=dword:00000FFF
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam
"BagMRU Size"=dword:00000FFF

And don't forget to save settings

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000


This settins work, but now i can't test its because now i have a bug, i
CAN'T set my folders view on one of my computer :-(
try to solve it since 1 week
