Shell folder fix makes Chrome unstable. Is there an alternative?

Hi ,
When I first started using Win 7 the only real issue I had was it's inability to remember window sizes and positions of previously opened windows. This was solved when I installed the only solution that I could find,Shell folder fix.This worked perfectly for me at the time . Recently I have gone over to Chrome as my browser instead of FireFox as I find the former faster and I prefer the page preview facility, ezLinkPreview , which can the set to open up split screen and is more customisable than FireFox's Cool Previews. However I have found that the pages on chrome were unstable with the Desktop breaking through when I moved the cursor, especially on sites with video such as You Tube.
By a process of elimination I found that Shell folder fix was to blame and turning it off resolved all issues but of course I have lost the window memory.
So my question is does anyone know of an alternative fix to shell folder fix ?
Thank you
Regards Alex
