Confirming Bruce, on my Vista 64 the Ctrl key did the trick, not Shift.
Thanks guys!

Oh! Now it works.
I have to be in the same view (“Computer”) as when starting Explorer, when closing it with Shift-[close]. Makes kind of sense, if it’s a per-folder setting.

The first times I opened it I went to “Documents”, resized the window so that it showed just as many icons I want it to, and then shift-closed. Didn’t work. Have to return to “Computer” (where the icons don’t matter much to me, that’s why I left it) and shift-close from there. :-)

Hmm, neither Ctrl nor Shift does the trick for me… strange.
Are there other ways? Register tricks etc?

Actually on my 64bit version, its the CONTROL key that does this while Closing, not Shift.
