Change default Windows Explorer file browser size and position

Many programs use the Windows Explorer file browser when opening/saving/etc a file as shown below. Is there any way to change the default size and position of the file browser's window whenever a program open it?

I use Windows 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate.

The size and position of the window depends completely on the program; some programs change the position, some can't even resize, and some pick up your OS default. To save a larger Explorer window size/position, open Windows Explorer, adjust as you want it, then hold down Ctrl-Shift while you click the red X (top right) to close it. This will remember the size/position for the next time you open Explorer.

Programs such as Word and Wordperfect will remember the last position and size you chose for the browse window, for that program only.

And some programs require that you actually open a file after you resize/reposition the window, in order to remember the changes you made.

Extensive search in Microsoft support forums and elsewhere reveal no solution within Windows itself. CmdNow is an open source solution freely available, and ShellFolderFix is available freeware also intended to solve this, until Microsoft provides a solution.
