This didn't work but the web site worked on a few programs. The folders and files I can't seem to get to open the way I want and if I stretch them and close, they don't save views so they open minimized again.
Any Ideas????
Thanks in advance

Drag the window to the size you want - don't use Maximize - then close that
window by using File>Exit/Close.
