Issue: When I open Windows Explorer, I cannot get it to
open Maximized.
I have tried:
Tools/Folder Options/View.... Apply to All Folders
Doesn't work.

I have tried 'stretching' the Window to it's maximized
state and closing it.... doesn't work.

Is there another way in WINXP to accomplish this?

Thank you,
Michael A

This is by design. Drag the window to almost full-screen size with the
mouse, press CTRL while you close it to force Windows to save the new
window size.
 
Thank you tm.

It didn't work using Control or by using Shift.

Is there anything else I shjould try? This is very
frustrating !!

Try this: Delete the Registry keys
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU, both with
all the subentries, then create new keys "BagMRU" and "Bags" here. At
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam create a new
DWORD entry
BagMRU Size
and set this to
5000 (decimal)
Restart the computer. Retry now.
