OK..., but Gary was the only one who replied to either thread.

<QP>
I also have tried [toggling/clicking-on the pushpin/drawing-pin] and it only
works temporarily. The next time I start
WM and hit the send/rec button it is back to the full window.
</QP>

Is the problem that the Details window is too large or that it doesn't go
away after a Send/Receive?

Request: To keep track of things, it helps immensely if you quote all of the
previous message(s) in your replies to the newsgroup. Thank you.

The details window is too large and if I click the details button it goes
back to the small size but that fix is only temporary. After I close WM when
I open it to check my mail it is expanded again.

Thanks for the advise by the way,
RC

YW.

One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the change from "sticking." These include
anti-spyware applications (e.g., Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, CounterSpy, WinPatrol, etc),
anti-virus applications & security suites (Norton, McAfee, ESET/NOD32,
Kasperky, Trend Micro, etc.), and third-party firewalls (e.g., Zone Alarm,
etc.).

Note that temporarily disabling the application(s) or rebooting into Safe
Mode may not disable the application's system protections.
 
Thank you, but there are several other responders who also
share the workload here.

I tried disabling them and as you said it didn't work (I am running
Kaspersky AV, Ad-aware and SpywareBlaster) so I will next uninstall them and
see if that helps. Of course I will reinstall them after wards :-)

I uninstalled all of the above and WM is still having the same problem with
the details. I have reinstalled all the above and have given up. Thanks for
all your help, I appreciate it.
