    Has anyone else noticed that Windows Explorer in XP Pro [EDIT]SP1[/EDIT] will "forget" its screen position and size settings? It has happened to other people I work with, so it's not isolated to my machine. Anyone know of a fix for it? I'm glad MS is focusing on security, but explorer seems to get worse and worse with each release. X|

      I did with my last XP installation, but this time (running for about a month now) I haven't noticed it yet. This won't help you at all, but just to point it out. (I am using SP1 now if that matters, and wasn't before)

          Maybe I should not say this coz I am sure when I get home I will start having these problems. But I have never had any of the issues listed. Not with XP not with XP SP1.

            This annoys me too. If you log off or shut down if specific folders are active (I think it's "My Documents"), Explorer appears to "remember" it's position and size. However, a few other times it has remembered when I had other folders active.

              Same thing happened to me - I reinstalled XP and everything worked fine for about a month (maybe a little longer). Then everything went kaplooey again. :confused:

                For me, Explorer remembers its position, but if I have some folders/explorer windows open on shutdown, they never appear again on startup. And explorer is forever taking away the names of the folders and drives, so that I have lots of folders all named "". It also navigates to "C:\windows\desktop\desktop" and then complains that "c:\windows\desktop\desktop\desktop" doesn't exist (and of course it doesn't). It does the latter two things whenever one of the explorer windows calls a refresh (i.e. when the contents of a folder changes). I have a Win98 PC, so this shows that explorer isn't getting worse - it's always been bad. (Some consolation!)

                  I haven't noticed that but Explorer has been crashing on me for no apparent reason other than it doesn't like the file/folder I just clicked on. The really annoying part about this is that the appears to be no pattern whatsoever.

                  Clones are people two.
