Windows will remember those settings after you open the folder, set them and
close the folder the next time that the folder is opened. If you have
Remember each folder's view settings selected in Folder Options.

Open Folder Options...
Start | Run | Type: control folders | Click OK |
View tab | Remember each folder's view settings |
Click Apply | Click OK

Remember each folder's view settings
[[Specifies that the individual folder settings are retained whenever you
close and then reopen the folder. When this box is not selected, all folder
settings return to the default when the folder is closed and then
reopened.]]
detail view

Open the folder, click View, click Details and close the folder.
sorting by date

In details view, by default Windows Explorer displays files and folders in
ascending order.

To sort items using a different column..

In the Contents pane, click the category that contains the item that you
want to sort. I.e. click the Date Modified or the Date Created header to
sort by date.

Or on the View menu, point to Arrange Icons by and Select Created or
Modified to sort by date.

To sort items in ascending or descending order, click the column heading,
notice which way the arrow is pointing.
window at size i want

Open the folder and use your cursor to drag it to the size that you want and
then use your cursor by left clicking on the Title bar to drag it to the
location that you want. Then click the Close [X] while holding down the
Ctrl key to close the folder.
