Width of Folder pane too narrow. Cant make changes stick.

[Guest]

I must be the only one with this issue beacuse I havent seen it mentioned
anywhere.

I cant get the width of the Folders pane (Navigation pane) to stick. I can
drag it to where I want it but the next time that I open Explorer, its really
narrow again. Its opening up at around 158 pixels wide and I would like it to
open at around 300-350 or so.

Is there a reg key or value that is telling it what size to open at? Maybe I
can force it with a new value.

Mine sticks. Not sure why, but it might be because I have "Remember each
folder's view settings" selected in Folder Options.

Remember that this is a beta and a work in progress.
Don't worry...it will eventually get fixed.
The reason you don't see it mentioned much anymore is because it's an issue
that goes way back.
If you want to report it via the feedback option go ahead.
The more people who raise a stink about issues maybe the sooner they will
get fixed. (wishful thinking here)

Well Ill just deal with it then. Allthough there must be a place in the
registry that is telling

it to open at 158 pixels wide. Because its the same everytime. Ill keep
looking.

Whats weird is that if I open Computer (old My Computer) instead of Windows
Exploer and

then add the nav pane wich is essentially turning it into a Windows
Explorer, by all

appearances anyways, it will remember. Problem with that is that I have a
bunch of folders

with different program icons catagorized rather than having them all over
the desktop.

Making changes to Computer rather than Explorer, affects those program
folders with my

icons in them. And vice versa. Strange behaviour.

Also sorry for my double post. I recieved an error when posting saying it
had failed or

something and to try again later. So I did. But apparently it actually went
through. I guess

this would explain all the multiple instances of posts in here. Is this
forum still in beta too?

lol.

You should report all the bugs you find.
