Try holding Ctrl when you click the X button to close a window. That used to forcibly save the settings for that particular window in the past (don’t know for sure if it still works). -- Alec S. news/alec-synetech/cjb/net |

Same view settings for all folders
That did not work.
When I click on My Computer icon or any other documents on the desktop. The windows do not open all the way. I have to stretch them one way and the other way, to see everything in it. Of course I can double click the top bar and it will open all the way up. But they do not stay fully resized after I close them and open them back up again. I had to do a clean install of XP over the weekend. I have never had this problem before. Maybe it has something to do with SP3. I did not have SP3 installed before. Thanks for any help...

In control panel---folder options---general tab---are you set to 'open each
folder in the same window'? "TooBad" wrote in message ... That did not work. When I click on My Computer icon or any other documents on the desktop. The windows do not open all the way.

Same view settings for all folders
Yes I have "open each folder in the same window" checked. I have tried all
the settings in there and all different combinations, but still will not stay the way I set it. The only items that stick are the thumbnails, arrange by name, and auto arrange. This has me really stumped and frustrated. "Unknown" wrote: In control panel---folder options---general tab---are you set to 'open each folder in the same window'? "TooBad" wrote in message ...

Thank you ju.c that worked.
