One of my scripts sets bounds of folder windows. There seems to be

I'm using 10.5.6 and the problem folders are those in /System/
Library/. These folders don't have a .DS_Store file. (Manually adding
a . DS_Store file seems to fix the problem, but I don't like messing
with these folders unless I know what I doing. And I don't! Hence the
request for documentation.)
You could also try deleting the .DS_Store file in the problem folder
and maybe its parent folder.
Another cause might be because the changes are only written
periodically, so if Finder crashes you can lose the last x folder
changes.
It's easy to open a . DS_Store file with TextEdit. I have found NO
bounds info within a . DS_Store file. I don't know why including one
in a folder would make the bounds stick. Hence the request for
documentation.
AFAIK there's no documentation and no-one's been able to decipher
the .DS_Store files. I wish they were .plists or similar.
Oh #!%$!
