Windows Explorer x y coordinates in registry?

Hi all.

When I open, say, Folder 2 and resize, Folder 2's new size will remain when I reopen Folder 2 directly. However, if I open Folder 1 (which will come up in default size) and navigate to Folder 2, I will still get the small window size. It is possible I manually change the size of every folder I can possibly open (which is quite ridiculous). I want to know where is the key (or keys) in the registry that contain the x and y values for the resized windows (example Folder 2) so that I can universally change the windows size.

Cheerio,
Nicholas.

assuming i understand you correctly, i think you need to change the folder options & uncheck "remember view settings" like embedded pic

it's here: <Control Panel> <Folder Options>
 
No. That does not make any difference at all. The initially opened window's resized coordinates are stored, but opening another window will result in the default size.

What I want to know is the location where Windows stores the coordinate (or coordinates) of the window sizes when opened.

ok i understand, you want to specify the location on screen than a window opens by specifying the X & Y axis of the window,

there should be a way to do it by using CLI however if you create a shortcut to the program & edit properties, & select "shortcut" you can choose the run behavior e.g. minimized, maximized or normal window

hope that helps you, failing that for CLI (Command Line Interface) commands

BTW: took some finding that.
 
Because it's annoying having the windows open so small and much more so when I individually re size and get windows of different length/breadths.

Cheerio,
Nicholas.
