Problem resizing windows explorer

For some unknown reason within the past week or so I am not able to re-size the explorer window. I've tried various tips found in other forums, but none worked (like holding ctrl key & exiting, holding shift key & closing it, etc.) The folder options-view-like current folder does nothing!) I'm looking for a reg hack. I found 1 for xp, but it wasn't applicable to win2k!



Since I found an answer to another folder problem at this forum, I figured those here are maybe a little smarter!



Can't find any virus, trojans, malware,etc. Even ran rootkitrevealer with no luck. Don't know what changed it, don't really care, would just like to be able to re-set the window size again!



I can't even set it to the defaults! Anyone know of a hack to correct this problem? the window opens very large & very square! A real annoyance.



Thanx!

Is explorer full screen, minimized, or in a window now?

It always pops up as a large square taking up about 40% of the screen & I can re-size it during a session, but it won't hold it's settings if I close it. Every explorer window is the same size. I logged in under another admin account & the problem doesn't exist there, which leads me to believe there is a reg files screwed up or missing! Sooo.. I'm basically looking for a reg hack since I've tried about 8-10 suggestions from others. Found a hack for XP with the same problem, but those reg keys don't exist in win2k pro.

Any ideas? Thanx!

You wouldn't happen to be running a Dell OEM Windows installation, would you?

NO! I replaced the orig dell installation with win2k, sp4! Don't like XP.

Unsurprising that you were running a Dell. I've had your problem too, it's to do with OEM drivers and other "pooware".

Are you using anything like the "Dell (keyboard) hotkey driver" ?
