How do i make folders open in same location (on monitor/s) and same size

In a galaxy far far away, I had created a perfect world in which all my existing (and newly created folders) would open up in the same location, and to my specific size, on the left (secondary) monitor. For some dumb reas:(n, I hit the 'restore default' button under View in Folder Options and now every folder, both brand new or existing, opens on the right monitor (and in a size and location that doesn't work for my anal requirements).

I need help trying to figure out how to set the default??? folder's options so that when I create a new folder, it opens up to my specific default size and location on the secondary (left) monitor. FWIW, I like to make folders that are exactly half the horizontal size of my monitor screen size, but full vertical size. This way I can quickly move a couple of folders to my left monitor and place them side by side for reference, shifting data, etc.

I have done the obvious and checked and unchecked 'Remember each folder's view settings' to no avail (which probably only applies to existing folders anyway). I have 1000's of existing files that no longer open where I once commanded them but now open up on the right monitor and in a useless folder size that is probably the default size. I suspect that I need to re-size and re-locate every existing file to my left monitor BUT, can I at least change how & where newly created default folders appear without the frustration of moving them around??? Thanks All
