folders always open in the same place

This has been driving me nuts since i've had 7, but i really don't want to have to install some program to eliminate it. i really don't think i should have to. Every time I have a folder open, when i open another one it opens tight on top of the first one, they always are the same size which i don't want either. In other versions of windows i was always able to get each particular folder to open where i want on the desktop and any size i want by simply putting stretching it to the size i want and putting it where i want then closing it. It would open there every time thereafter even after restarting.

Don't bother telling me about the folder view thing or holding cntrl while closing the window (can't recall if it was cntrl, but tried it long ago and no go) I know all about those but they do does on my W7 64. Any ideas? Thanks.

No, what i'm talking about is this...open a folder. Size it how you want and place it anywhere on the desktop you want. Now close it. If you open that same folder OR any other folder it will be in the same place and size you last had it. EVERY folder will. So any time you open a folder then open a second one, it opens right on top of the last folder. In XP and other versions i could set it so that i could open folder A, size it and place it how i want, then do the same for folder B, but size it differently and place it in a different place on the desktop. Now every time i open folder A it always comes up how i last sized and placed it, and B opens how i last sized and placed it, even tho i sized and placed them differently.

It's not an issue with some W7 computers, they all do it. So it's not a issue due to an app or configuration i'm using. It's just the way they made W7. If you google it there are huge threads on it but no one so far seems to have found a fix aside from adding some app that does it. But most of the threads i found at various forums are not up to date, so i'm hoping something has been found by now. likely not, but i gotta try.
