📎 AI Summary:
The user is experiencing an issue with Windows 10 where folders open at half size instead of full size, and they want to set folders to always open maximized. A respondent explains that Windows 10 uses the same registry values for all File Explorer windows, which determine their size and position, leading to uniform window sizing. The discussion suggests that folder window sizes are managed collectively rather than individually, but no specific solution to always open folders maximized is provided.

Hello,

I have Windows 10 on my Dell laptop computer. Sometimes when I click on a folder to open it, it opens half size. Of course when I click on the maximize icon on the top right, the folder increases to full size. But I was wondering how I can make my folders always open to full size.

Thank you

Windows 10 maintains a single set of registry values that describe the currently active Windows explorer window position and size. These values are used for all explorer Windows, so if you move and size one folder, the next you one you open with have the same dimensions and be stacked on any other with a slight offset.
