re-sizing windows

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but when I am in the
Internet Explorer that comes with vista I cannot get a window to stay
resized. I am putting photos on the internet, I click the box to browse for
my photos, go to the window that opens up (which is very small) I resize the
window to show all the files abd change the view of how the files are
displayed, click the file I want, go back to repeat the exercise and the
window has gone back to the small size again. In other words every time I
have to resize the window and change the view which is so frustrating as I
have many photos at one time to put on the site. When I was using XP, the
window stayed resized for the whole of the session, I only had to resize
once while I was working. Is there any way round this. I would be so
grateful for some help please.

Margaret

Clicking the X in the corner should set the size for next time. Simply
choosing a file and OK does not.

Hello Mark

thank you for your reply, but I really don't know what you mean. I cannot
make the box larger by clicking the X, that shuts it down and there are not
the usual minimize and maximize buttons in the corner only the x to close
the window down, so I am not sure what you mean. I resize the window by
dragging the corners, but it immediatly goes back to the same size when you
move away from the window. Perhaps I have misunderstood what you mean,
anymore suggestions please.

Thank you for that, but it does not work. When I double click my file to
put it onto the internet, it automatically goes back to the browse box
without giving me any option to close it down, and when I go back to put the
next photo on, the window has gone back to the small size. Its most
frustrating. Any more suggestions.

Explorer windows won't stay the same size for me either - whether
directly in Explorer or in a program's interface. Is there a fix for
this annoyance?
