By 'previously unaccessed', I mean folders that have never before been opened in the lifetime of the current installation. Once a folder has been opened and resized, Windows will remember the setting (well, most of the time) but if it's a folder that's never been opened before - Bang!- full screen. This doesn't seem to be a problem if you stick with the Windows default setup, but I prefer to use the 'Windows Classic' folders, i.e., each folder opening in it's own window, in List mode, without Standard Buttons, Address Bar or Links - which is a fast efficient setup for a working user. I have an idea that there might be a registry hack for this - anyone seen it?	porty (1720)
