Explorer preview pane not remembering location fix

 

This is a fix to the problem of the preview not remembering its location after closing and opening explorer.  

1. Open explorer and go to this location:

 

%userprofile%C\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar

 Example for me.

 

2. Right click on 'window explorer' go to properties and paste below into target field

 

%windir%\explorer.exe /e /root,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

 

3. Click ok.

 

Now you can resize the preview panel and it will remember is location after closing explorer and resetting computer.

 

Note: it does not seem to work if you open more than one explorer window.
