Open up the window, I hate scrolling
Most windows open up set to accommodate 640x480 resolution. I haven't used that resolution since 1992. My present monitor is 24" and this vast amount of screen real estate can accommodate and open any window wide enough and high enough to avoid scrolling. Vista can't do a GetDeviceCaps and adjust the window accordingly? Or Vista can't let me set a standard size for all new windows? Anyway you can FORGET about setting anything manually because Vista can't remember a window setting for more than 5 minutes!
Microsoft ought to get serious about Window aesthetics, and then return overall control of such matters to the user. If little utilities like Sizer can remember and set window proportions, I would think that in the million lines of code behind Vista there could be a few lines that could retrieve the user date and open the window generously and space out the columns without truncation, even if, God forbid, it required getting right down to coding in naked assembly language.

This is a serious issue. I just want the explorer to at least display every window at 800x600, because 640x480 is pathetic, and even resizing doesnt help, after the mentioned 5 minutes windows are 640x480 again
I COMPLETELY agree! Very annoying!
To make matters worse, Vista has large icons. So, sometimes when you open a window, not only does it open small, but it opens with only a handful of icons visible since they are so big.
If you're going to use big icons, then you better have a large window.

Ok now I get it. +1
??, I don't understand this, Windows Sizes stay they way the user left them. I have started a new computer with a res 1500+ and I don't see windows opening at 800x600.
youre right, but what does assembly code have to do with it?
