Folder Windows - Can This Be Done? by

always open in a window of a preferred size. This would be a larger/deeper
window than the 'default one which appears to be 'classically small'.

Zero Virtual Memory by
Al W
The mystery has been solved. The HDD is fried. There is a simple diagnostic
test which would have told me this on 8/14 if I had known of it's existence.
The good news is I learned a lot about software that may be useful in the
future.
