Every time i click on a desktop icon the page opens too small. I must click Maximize. I thought that if i did that and then clicked Close it would remember.But that is not the case.

hmm.. Try maximizing it manually by dragging from the bottom right corner of the screen and pulling the window outwards.. it should remember then. Also try double clicking the top of the window.

Go to the properties of the shortcut icon, choose "maximized" in the Run: drop down box

Problem solved.

It does not remember.

I Rt. clk,on icon> Lt. clk. Prop. and i get a window with 4 tabs: General-web Doc.-security-and details.

So what OS do you have? Not that I know the answer (I care little about UI stuff), but it does matter.

Windows Viata 64 Bit.

I have Win Xp and it works for the IE browser shortcut and the Win Explorer shortcut. Firefox shortcut didn't have Properties, but the browser remembers the last size. I have the lastest Firefox 3.6.3

If you haven't solved it yet, hold down the shift button and click the X in the upper right hand corner. That is supposed to save the position of the window at the very least.

It just closes the window.

With a full window,if i click minimize then click to open it remembers and opens to a full window.

Am i missing a setting some whear?

I would guess that you are, but I can't tell you what it is.

Can you run Vista without a GUI? That would fix everything.

Sorry, but what is a GUI?

Graphical interface. As in, from a command line.
