For some reason I cannot change the default display size of certain folders
such as: My Computer, Recycle Bin, Control Panel,(all the OS folders). What I
mean by this is the size of the window that pops up when you click on an icon
on the desktop.

I will use the mouse button to change the size, but the next time I open it,
it is the same size as before.

All of the installed program folder windows will save any change in size.

This has been an issue since the initial installation, but I just recently
upgraded my monitor and the size difference is finally getting annoying.

OS: W4K SP4

Thanks, Ron K.
 
Try opening window then hold <alt> key while closing using the X in upper
right corner.
