Since nobody else seems to have understood the question, I shall take a crack at it.
In previous versions of Windows (XP era), you actually could disable the saving of window locations. It used to be under the folder options window in the view tab. Microsoft has since decided to remove that option and has given no possibility of replacing it.
I initially thought we could work around it by, for example, limiting the size of the cache that windows uses for saving this data. This was a terrible idea which I do not recommend, as it causes explorer to close and restart every time you open a new window.
I also tried an old registry workaround that I seem to recall from Windows 7:
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced, create a DWORD called ClassicViewState and set it to 1. This no longer appears to function on the most recent build of Windows 10 (and I haven't tried others), but complicating matters is that I have no idea if this actually worked under Windows 7 either. At any rate, this doesn't appear to work now.
Here is what I do know:
In the registry key:
HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell
you will find entries for each resolution. You are looking for entries labeled in the format WinPos1360x768x96(1).bottom (.top, .left, .right). Search for the WinPos with your current resolution. Be warned that there may be multiple, so experimentation is advised. These reflect the "last saved size/position" of Windows explorer. DO NOT DELETE THESE.
Nothing terrible will happen, it's just your next window will open in the top left with the smallest size that an explorer window can be.
Anyway, it doesn't appear that simply denying permission to write will prevent these values from changing, which is frustrating, so you'll need to find a program that will monitor these changes and revert them. Of course, knowing what needs to be done doesn't actually get it done. Hopefully somebody more versed in the art of registry can springboard off this information.
