. for Windows applications that end in .msc, accessed through the MMC:
If you open the MMC from the command line (or start menu), then open either the EventViewer or Services console, you can modify your default window sizes, positions, columns, etc and then use Console > Save to save your changes to the appropriate ".msc" file in the windows directory.
Subsequent usage of the EventViewer or Services consoles will now open with the newly remember attributes.
. Dr199's tip is for Explorer Folder views. The newish TweakUI (free from Microsoft Download) allows you to adjust the number of remembered folders, or use regedit in a slightly different way than Dr199 recommended:
1. Launch REGEDIT from the Start menu's Run dialog.
2. Navigate to the Registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell. If this key is not present, skip to step 8.
3. If a subkey named BagMRU is present, delete the entire subkey.
4. If a subkey named Bags is present, delete the entire subkey.
5. Look for a value named BagMRU Size (with a space between BagMRU and Size).
6. If this value is not present, select New | DWORD Value from the Edit menu and name the new value BagMRU Size.
7. Double-click on the BagMRU Size value, choose Decimal, and enter the desired number of folder settings for Win XP to remember (for example, 1,000).
8. Navigate to the Registry key HKEY_ CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ Windows\ShellNoRoam. If present, repeat steps 3 through 7.
But this will not resolve your problem at all.
. Again, there are third-party tools that create outside of the Windows shell the ability to force windows sizes for applications.
