Using this tip to fix window size from folders on desktop
Authored by: LoonyPandora on Dec 02, '04 06:10:24AM

The best way to do it IMO, is a little expansion on Rob's comment in the main hint:

1) Open new Window, do NOT use the window to navigate anywhere
2) Move to correct position on screen
3) Use the resize handle at the bottom right to resize the window slightly
4) Close the window.

Step 3 is the important step - I have discovered you must resize the window (even if it is just by 1 pixel) for the changes to 'stick'

Also bear in mind that window size/position is done on a per directory basis (Using .DS_Store files) - if you open your HD, and then make these changes, they will not necessarily apply to a Finder window you create using 'Command+N'

I have never had this technique fail for me.
