How can I adjust the size of windows Finder opens

.

 

This only works if the Window is in the original view it was opened with.

If say you navigate through some of the folders within the Window and do the re size afterwards it will no stick. So open the Window you want a new default size on; Finder on the dock or any folders or drives on the desktop. Then re size and close when you reopen the window it should be of the new size and at the same position.

 

Hey. I have the same problem. I want to make it where all of my windows stay in the same position and size when I log in to my computer. I adjust everything to perfection and when I log out and log back in it goes back to being messed up. Is there a way to change the default position and size of the windows?

 

Don't you just open a finder window, set it to how you want it, right click on it > Show View Options and then click Set As Default?

 

If you don't close the windows when you shut down, doesn't the Mac restore them all in the same place on start-up?

 

That's what I was thinking. I just tried that and it didn't work. The windows just open up really small and not enough area to see what files are in the window. I'm constantly expanding the windows and it's just be nice to have them all open up the same length and all be the same.

 

I used to do the same thing in OS9. When I jumped from there to Leopard (quite a leap, I know) I discovered it was not possible. It's a waste time to arrange the windows, as you've found out. It doesn't stick.

Sure, if you want all windows to have the same characteristics. I'm not if that doing that affects window sizes though. If it did, then that would make all windows the same size as well.

Yes, I think so. But I also think it's a one-time thing. As you close those windows and open others, things get "messed up" again.

I've just resigned myself to the fact that I can no longer build "cascading" windows the way I used to. It's mildly annoying that the resize window corner has to be employed more often. It would be nice to have some options for arranging open windows with a single click, such as Cascading or Split Screen, by which I mean something similar to Spaces for finder windows.

 

Open finder, adjust the size then close the window. Do not go past go, do not pick up $200
Just Open, Adjust size, Close.
