'Remember each folders view settings' dosn't work.

[Emory Richter]

In XP v 5.1 Build 2600
I want Windows Explorer windows
narrow enough to set them side by side
and have them fit on my monitor screen.

But though I have:
'Remember each folders view settings'
checked in:
Tools > Folder Options > View
when I open a folder on my desktop
or on a drive that is not my main drive
the size has always expanded.

If I reset the size it will last for the day
but when I reboot the set size is again lost.

Also, sometimes the status bar disappears.

Is there a way to get Windows Explorer
to hold to the configured size
and keep the status bar?
Like, changing settings in the registry?

Thank you,
Emory

The Default for Windows XP is to remember the view settings for the 400 most
recently used folders.

taurarian,

The reg file
seems to solve the the problem for all folders
except my CD drive.
But - good enough.

Thanks for the quick tweak.
