    Win Explorer: How to Retain Pane Width


    Hi,
    I have a 22 inch widescreen which is great to see the primary folders in the first pane, sub-folders in the second pane and then the file preview in the third pane. The issue I am having is that each time I open up Explorer I need to expand the second pane to show the folder/file details. I stays expanded until I close Explorer where it seems to return to the narrow pane.
    Any way of adjusting the second pane size and keeping that width?
    thanks

    There is a small fix explained here, not sure if it works but might be worth a shot.

    Oh and welcome to Windows Explorer!
