Neep help with this :(

When I open my explorer the window is full screen.I adjust it to the size I want(because I have a 21 inch monitor) but when I x out and come back the window is back to the full size again.

Can you tell me how to freeze that smaller size?
Thanks

Don't X out... reduce the size, then use File > Exit

to fix full screen

John-Ranger: Not sure if you tried this, open your explorer, and hit the F11 key. That is the default full screen for explorer, and IE, etc.

Try right-clicking the shortcut (icon) you use and select 'Properties'. Under the 'Shortcut' tab you should see a drop-down menu called 'Run:'. Change that to 'Normal Window', if it's not already selected. IE6 usually remembers the window size from your last exit, but this should do the trick.
