(I wonder if that made any sense...)
Anyway, the same way that you can have an IE window open fully "maximized", "normal"
or "minimized", I am not finding the method to have my folders open the way I want
them to.
When it comes to the IE quick launch shortcut, you can go to it's properties & decide
the size in which to to launch it (as mentioned above). However, if you're launching
a web page from anywhere else, it won't open fully maximized unless you manually
do so. The closest you can get it is by incorporating a special method which I was
told about on this message board a while ago [1. While depresing Ctrl, drag the bottom
right corner of the window to the outermost point at which you wish the window to
reach 2. Close the window, and only close that window, by pressing File, Close.]
but you can't apply the same tactic to opening folders, & that's what is irritating
me at the moment.
So, anyone know how to force folder windows to open each time in a state that I choose,
not a default size & location?
The following suggestion from another support forum, did not do the trick:
"be sure that you have checked the "remember view options" box checked (windows explorer
window; tools; folder options; view tab) then you might try this:
open an explorer window and make it JUST the way you want it (size, relative position
on the desktop, column head order etc.).
When it's JUST the way you want it, close it by holding down the "alt" key and clicking
on the big "X" in the upper right corner of the window.
When you re-open that window, it should be just the way you left it."
Thanks.
