Windows Vista How to keep windows size?

Everytime I open Control Panel window, I resize and position it to fit my needs, but after machine re-start, it is back to the size and position Windows picks. How do I keep it positioned and sized the way i want? i don't want Windows to decide. There must be some kind of tweak. Thank you guys.

 

There are probably other ways to do it but, through XP and now Vista, what I do is drag the window to the size I need and then hold down the shift key and exit. Next select shows your new window size.

 

Thank you. I think tht's exactly it. Remember it from XP. Never thought it could work on Vista. I'll give it a try!

 

Didn't work!

 

Strange - works for me!
