Default Explorer windows won't stay in position

How can I make Explorer open folder windows open in the same position and
at the same size on the desktop? For ages they did, but now they always
open in some "default" size and position

Thanks for any advice

Hi

If you mean Windows Explorer - drag the window to the size you want it and
then position it. Close that window via File>Close.

Tried that a squillion times. It may work a few times - then, start again.
They used to be "sticky". Must have lost the registry setting. Is there
one? Can't find any reference

Thanks though. On with the game

Be sure to close all other windows first. Then do what Will Denny said.
That should get the results you want.
