Hi y'all,

Why do Vista's explorer's window panes resize to default (left side slim,
right side most of explorer, top left links pane/segment large) each time I
close and restart it? I have saved window size by closing while holding
shift, but everything else comes up default. I don't like the left side
being so small, and I don't like the animation/shifting left or right as I
move up and down the column. I have the explorer set to classic view.

Thanks.

Yeah, I don't like that either.
I am hoping that it is still just a work in progress and it will remember
user settings in later builds.
I really don't care for the new Windows Explorer at all. I am trying real
hard to like it, and I keep telling myself to "give it a chance" and not be
one of those people that just hates change but I really really really don't
like it much. I sent my comments to MS but I doubt at this late juncture it
will do any good.

Paula,

I agree with everything you said, and I'm trying to give it a chance, too.
I personally think MS has made the explorer more "user unfriendly," and that
goes double for "search." That's not to say I dislike Vista in general,
just explorer, search, and UAC. Note: I do like UAC in theory, I just
don't like the fact that it doesn't save/remember my preferences. I, too,
hope they'll fix everything before they release the final version, or I'll
have no choice but to find software that will do what I want.
