Vista - File Open dialog box default size

Whenever one goes to open or save a file, I always find the dialog box to
small, and like to resize to make it easier to look through the hundreds of
folders i have. Is there any way to alter the default opening size of the
file management dialog boxes?

Vista seems to remember the size and position of the Open/Save dialog on a
per-application basic. View settings (icon style, sort order) for the
dialog are remembered for each folder. I think you'll find as you continue
working that your preferences are remembered.

I haven't found any way to set a global default.

As best I can tell, Vista (or any other Microsoft operating system) does
not have a way to permanetly enlarge the open and save-as dialog boxes
to some reasonable size. The default size was established in Windows 95
and has never been changed. There has always been utilities you can buy
for about $20 that fix the flaw.
