Hi to you all

A laptop running Windows XP Pro
Folders when opening always open small size ( half screen )
After setting folder to full screen
and in Windows Explorer / Tools / Folder options / General
settings checked are * Use windows Classic Folders
* Open each folder in same window
* Double click to open an item
The in view tab
I click " APPLY TO ALL FOLDERS " OK
On restart all folders are still half size

What am I doing wrong ???

ThanX for any help

You could be referring to the size of Windows explorer window. To make the
windows full screen without having to click the maximize button, do this:
Open one window > position your cursor to the corner of the window > drag the
cursor up the edge of the screen. Do the same thing to the opposite corner >
close the window. The window should be full screen when reopened
 
This is one of the most-often asked questions . Just closing a newly
stretched window doesn't always hold it. I've seen these "fixes" or ways to
make it work:
-Hold Shift, ctrl, or Shift+ctrl while clicking on X in u-r
-Click on icon in u-l (title bar. In that menu, select Close by itself or
by the above mentioned Shift and ctrl key combinations with it
No guarantees, at least here as I have same problem at times.

Another route given is through shortcuts set to open maximized. For any
given shortcut, right-click, select Properties; in dialog box, select
Shortcut tab. In "Run", select maximized" in the list of three options.
Again. no guarantees...
