When I open My Documents, My Computer, or any Windows Explorer window it
defaults to the full screen size. How can I change or reset the default size
of the window? This is problematic because I have a dual monitor setup which
means the window spans across both monitors which is very annoying.

Hi ttpoker,

You will need to reset the folder view settings. Method Two in this
tutorial will show you how. The download is the easiest way.

After the reset, set the size of the window to what you want and close
it so Vista will remember the size. Vista will only remember the way
the window was when it was last closed.

You can also set a individual shortcut folder's default open window
size. This tutorial will show you how.

Open Windows Explorer Window, now place the window where you want to i
to open from now on, then resize the window to your desired size. No
press & hold the left ALT key, use your mouse top click on the X i
Windows Explorer, (while holding down the left ALT key), to close th
window

Let go of the ALT key & open Windows Explorer, the Window shopuld no
be of the size and in the place where you positioned it

Windows Vista SP
