Open your registry and find the key below.

Create a new DWORD value called "BagMRU Size" and set it to the number of folders that Windows should save settings for (e.g. 1000).

Repeat the step for the same value at [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam].

Restart Windows for the change to take effect.
