    I could not seem to get the guest OS to remember Explorer window size & position. It behaved as if the box for "Remember each folder's view setting" was checked. This had been an issue I'd noticed for about a year and a half and never spent much time messing with it.

    Note that I'm not referring to the size of the guest OS window, I'm referring to Explorer, the windows equivalent of Finder. I just tried resetting to default and then like current folder, and that only works on the folder I'm looking at when I make the change. I then found this, which really resets the Explorer settings and allowed me to set the window size and position as well as columns just the way I wanted:
