Edit the default window size of new Explorer windows
I also would like to know if there's a way to set the default size for at least one of the "Zoom" states that is toggled when the green "+" button is clicked. It seems to me that it *ought* to be impossible, by design, to set one of the two states as a fixed position and size, since the point of the Zoom function is to adapt the window to your screen's size. If your monitor resolution were changed, or if you were using a 2nd monitor, then fixing both Zoom states would mean that the window could not adapt to the monitor's resolution. Still, I can imagine good reasons why one, not both, of the Zoom states could be specified at a fixed point with fixed dimensions.
Edit the default window size of new Explorer windows
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it has always been my understanding that the Mac OS optimizes and not maximizes windows when the green button (+) is pushed. The correct labeling for window buttons should be: close, minimize and optimize. It appears the (+) is misleading. I seem to remember reading documentation regarding this 'feature' in Mac OSs prior to X, but I'm not sure how far back it went. You should rarely see a window that is optimized to where it is the same as the screen size; in most cases you should just see the appropriate number of columns, all content of a page or all the folder icons contained within a folder, and no more, leaving your desktop as open as possible. There are details regarding it's function that elude me, and it is far from perfect, but if it is used to instantly obtain the optimized window size it can be productive.
