MacOS – Mac OS X Lion Finder Window Size

findermacmacos

I know that when I close a finder window the next time it opens, it will open at the same size.

This works with me for a while, but sometimes all the finder windows just go back to the default size (Small window) except for the Macintosh HD folder!

Why is that? How can I fix it? It is VERY annoying.

If you hold down option while resizing the window and then close it, the next time you open it from the dock it will open at the new default size.

You will need to do this with the other ways of opening the finder window, such as clicking the HD icon on the desktop of after closing a window going to file -> new finder window.

Once these have all been done you will not have to do it again.
