Folder Dimensions Preserved

It still remembers the size it had the last time its size was manually adjusted [as opposed to sizing by using WinKey-LeftArrow etc]
I don't recall it ever being any different.

So I better understand. Yes on a folder by folder basis?

Or simply the last file explorer window?

I remember it was on a folder by folder basis.

Not moving from one folder to another on one window in Explorer, but opening folders from taskbar.

No. On a File explorer basis.
- It does not care which folders it was showing at the time.

Thanks! That's what I thought, but wanted to be extra sure for the OP's question.

Ahhh, so from the right click 'Pinned' list?

checking.

No, still see it inheriting whatever the last File Explorer window size was, regardless of folder.

Or shortcuts, anything that takes you directly to a folder.

Spent a lot of time with 1607 before moving to 1903 (less than a year).

Just created a folder short cut on my desktop and the size isn't saved.
Perhaps someone running 1903 or 1809 can check.

I don't remember it doing that, but then I can't tell you the movie I just watched last night. ;o)

Perhaps you are correct .. had the idea of the Movies folder being larger to show the large icons vs everything else showing list or small icons.

"[Microsoft]In regards to the size & position of the Explorer window, these settings are saved on close for the Explorer application, not on a per-folder basis. If you have multiple windows open, the size & position of the last one closed will determine the size & position of the window when you launch Explorer again.

Icon mode, sort/grouping, column selection, and column width should all be saved on a per-folder basis. Sometimes the maximum number of saved views (5000) is met and Windows will delete one saved view every time it has to save another. To see how many saved views are indexed in your registry, open a PowerShell window, then copy & paste the following command:

((gp "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU").Nodeslots).count"
