Vista won't keep size of folder

hi,

i've tried to resize folders on my PC, drag to the size i want (full screen) right click, refresh, top left hand & close, it'll open up again in the correct size, but say after a reboot, it's back to the small size again

any ideas?

Hello BJproc,

You might see if applying METHOD TWO in this tutorial may be able to help you depending on what type of window you are wanting to be remembered.

Windows Explorer Folder View settings

Hope this helps,
Shawn

You will just need to open Folder Options from within that window instead for it not to be grayed out.

Re: Vista won't keep size of folder

thanks again for the very quick reply.

it's not greyed out now, so i take it i have to do the to each folder for it to remember the settings? or should it apply to every folder opened?

Yes, it should apply the folder view that is set in that window to all windows with the same folder template. They will all be set to "All Items" after applying Method Two though.

However, folder views has always been buggy in Vista, so it may not always work for you.
