This program seems to work. Open any Explorer window, choose it on "Currently open windows" list, press AutoSize, choose "Resize / Position", press "Set Size" and choose your size.

You can set the
'lines'and'columns'options in ~/.gvimrc (~/_gvimrc on Windows). E.g:I don't recommend you do this in your vimrc, because setting those options in console Vim can have odd effects, if it works at all; the gvimrc is only loaded when gVim is started.
