Can I change the size of the file open/save dialog and make it sticky?

I know I can change the size of the file open or save dialog by dragging the handels of the dialogwindow. But if I restart Acrobat (8 Pro on Windows XP SP 2) then it uses the original smaller sizes.

Is there a way to make the changed dimensions stay?
Maybe somewhere in the register?

Hi --

The window dimensions are a part of the operating system. I don't think they can be changed in the registry -- you'd need access to the OS source code.

Hi Donna,

Thanks for your reply. Could this be something for the wishlist for the next update/version of Acrobat?

For instance WordPerfect X3 does remember the changed size of the file open/save dialog, so it should be possible.
