Rock--
The OP was specifically interested in Windows Explorer window size not
Internet Explorer 7 windows size in Vista 5728 (essentially the same OS that
they'll RTM half done in a few days).
The Bag MUR value is directed to Explorer and folders not IE.
If you want to get IE remembrance, first it's not going to be perfect.
Popunders behind the scenes that can get around any pop-up blocker, IE7's,
IE 6 SP2's, and Googles are any 3rd party can influence and change this.
If I want to have IE remember a Window Size, the best method is to open a
send window with Ctrl+N and stretch the child window ***manually**** to the
desired size. Then close it (doesn't matter from X on the ***right or from
File>close on left and hold down the Ctrl key while doing so.
Then I do the exact same thing with the parent window.
IIt's not full proof but it will keep your windows sized the way you want
but a popunder can change things.
That's IE. I was using the reg tweaks (as the MSKB points out) did you see
it--for Windows Explorer. While Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer are
tightly connected via code, these are two different problems with two
different solutions.
CH
IE Window rememberance behaves differently than Explorer Window remebrance.
Whatever documentation you have for 5000 windows being remembered,please
bring it in here. Are you confusing IE windows and Explorer windows Rock?
