Default Folder Resizing

I have resized one of my file folders. When I close the file and then
open it sometime later, the folder has resumed its original size.

Can anyone help?

What do you mean by "I have resized one of my file folders"?
How?

The size of a folder is dynamic, changing automatically as the total file
size within it expands and contracts. You can't change it yourself.

Exactly what did you do when you "resized one of my file folders"?

Resize the folder to whatever size you want or hit the Maximize
button in the top right corner.
Note: You can also right click the folder's entry on the
taskbar and select Maximize from the menu.
Now go to File on the toolbar at the top of the window and
select Close from the menu.
Go back and open the folder and see what size it is this time.

Good luck

I dragged the bottom right hand corner to make the folder bigger.

OK, thanks. I understand now. You made the *window* the folder appears in
bigger.
