All folders including special system folders will show the right tasks and commands, and most regular folders now use “All Items” template comes with more logical default columns in Explorer.
If you prefer not to edit the registry yourself, download reset-vista-folders.reg in zip file from the forum. It’s a 3-in-1 registry file that will reset all saved folder customizations on types and views (as per this article), disable auto template type discovery for folders and then set folder settings memory size of BagMRU to 10000, where last two actions are also recommended. You can edit the registry file in Notepad to remove the function that you don’t want to perform. To apply it, double click on the registry file and restart the computer.
