Backup folder view settings

Is there any way to backup the changes we've made to folders view settings?

Every time I re-install Windows (Windows7 x64) I need to reapply my preferred view settings to all folders (Books, Movies, Photos etc...)

The mentioned preferred setting is different for folders, so I can't use folder templates here. I just need to backup settings somehow, or get Windows to store view settings in desktop.ini or something.

Update

In case someone needed one-click backup for these settings:

regedit /E "C:\BackupFoldersViewSettings.reg" "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell"

Save this as a .bat file and you're good to go.

Windows saves the folder view settings in registry.

They are located at:

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

To access them, you need to use regedit by pressing start > run > type regedit and enter. In there you have the option to export a registry folder which can later be imported (backup/restore).

I would also make a backup of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ just to be safe.

Update: For Win7-x64 the registry locations are:

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagsMRU
