File Details

[Guest]

I'd like to know how to set "File Details" as my default instead of icons
when I open a folder. I'd also like to know how to set the folder window
size to full screen as the default.

the
folder window size to full screen as the default.

Set up a folder with the view you want set as the default.
On the toolbar at the top of the window, click on Tools and
select Folder Options from the menu that drops down.
In Folder Options, click on the View tab.
Hit the "Apply to All Folders" button.
Click OK.

As for the folder size, move your mouse pointer to a corner of
the window until it turns into a double headed arrow.
Click and hold down the left mouse button.
You can now drag the corner to the edge of your monitor.
Do the same for each side of the window until it fills the
entire screen.
Next, close the window by going to File -> Exit in the toolbar.
The next time you open a folder it should return to this size.

Good luck

You can create & merge a reg file similar to the following. I say similar
because, as you can see, certain value names are based on your screen
resolution. To obtain the correct names for your machine, examine one of
the numbered entries under:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags]


Copy the text between the lines into notepad, modify the MinPos, MaxPos, &
WinPos names if necessary. Save the file with a .reg extension & then merge
the file into the registry.

View > Details

I'd also like to know how to set the folder window

size to full screen as the default.

These may or may not work for you... Drag window corners to screen corners.
When closing, hold Shift key while clicking on X in upper-left. Or click on
title bar icon; do same with"close" in it's menu.
