Do not use the maximize button. Grab the corners of the window and drag it
to full screen size. Close the program using the red X in the upper
right-hand corner. The next time you open the program, Windows will remember
the last screen size used.

Danny--

A little additional on maximizing or getting a window to remember if you're
talking about IE and OE that has worked pretty consistently for me. I have
found you can't always rely on the red X or File>Close. **Manually resizing
a duplicate of the window needs to be in the equation to maximize your
chances of "window memory."**


1) Make a new window from the parent that you want to resize. (File>New or
Ctrl+N).
2) Keep the parent open.
3) Manually resize the second window to your desired size.
4) Close the second window--File>Close or from "the rt. corner X"--it
doesn't matter.
5) Then close the parent any way you want--File>Close; rt. corner
X--keyboard combo--it shouldn't matter.


Often when you think you haven't done anything *deliberately to switch a
window size that popups or pop unders* can cause Windows to remember their
size. This means that if someone has an efficient popup blocker running
(Panic Ware's or Google Toolbar or a number of others), you may never see
the culprit for this altered size. There might be other causes in the
equation sometimes, but I'm not sure what they are.

Folder window sizes may be dependent upon increasing the folder view size
limit. Kelly has a regedit here that may help with this:

#2 Left Size: "Increase folder view size limit to 8000" or you could use
TweakUI XP by Unchecking Only Allow Windows Classic or manually edit it here
and put in a high limit BagMRU Size REG_DWORD 0x000003E8:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell]
"BagMRU Size"=dword:000003e8

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell NoRoam]
"BagMRU Size"=dword:000003e8
