FWIW I've been analyzing this problem - i.e. the fact that Vista ignores the
Open Each folder in its own window setting. I find this a major usability
aggravation. In case anyone is interested, when changing this option it
toggles the 5th byte in the Settings key below between 0a for open in same
window and 2a for open in own window. I tried some experimentation with the
values (looking at what XP uses) with no success. If nothing else, this
indicates that the problem is not in Folder Options failing to save a
setting, but in Vista failing to use it.
[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-922192377-234827669-2519656814-1000\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState]
"Settings"=hex:0c,00,02,00,2a,01,00,00,60,00,00,00
If anyone has any other info about this or any work around, please let us
know.
