Can someone point me to a sure fire method of setting a windows size in
Windows Explorer, for instance, and have it hold for each window that comes
up as I open folders, sub-folders, sub-sub-folders, etc???? I tried googling
for a solution but have found nothing that works good under Vista.

I seem to remember having this problem when XP 1st came out quite a while
ago but don't remember what I did to solve.

Hi Ed,

Method Two in this tutorial will help Vista remember the folder view
settings for a window as it was when it was last closed. Anything you
open from within the same window should remain the same size, as it was
opened to, until changed manually.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Adjust the default size of windows
Changing the size of a window sets the default size of subsequent windows
you open for that particular program or folder. For example, if you're using
WordPad, and you want your document windows to open to the same size, you
can resize one document window, and then any document windows you later open
will be the same size.
To resize a window
1. To change the height, point to the top or bottom window border. When the
pointer changes into a vertical, double-headed arrow , click the border, and
then drag it up or down.
2. To change the width, point to the left or right window border. When the
pointer changes into a horizontal, double-headed arrow , click the border,
and then drag it to the right or left.
3. To change the height and width at the same time, point to any window
corner. When the pointer changes into a diagonal, double-headed arrow ,
click the border, and then drag it in any direction.
Note
You can't resize a window that's minimized or maximized.

If you want Explorer to always open Maximized, do this:

1) Right-click on shortcut you use to open Explorer.
2) Choose "Properties" from Popup menu.
3) When Properties sheet opens, click on "Shortcut" tab.
4) Next to "Run:", click on small arrow to open dropdown menu.
5) Choose "Maximized" from list.
6) Click on "Apply", then "OK".
