when I open individual emails they open in full screen. A friend said resize the email to what I want and hold down the CTRL button and close everything out. It worked but not permanently. How do I resize so my emails open to a smaller size on not take up the whole screen automatically.

Do you use CCleaner or any similar product that might be deleting Thunderbird's configuration files?

no, I don't even know what a C Cleaner is. This is a brand new computer and just setting things up. It's a Windows 7.

Have you tried setting Thunderbird to open messages in a tab rather than a window? Or better (IMHO) to not "open" them but to read them in the message pane below the message list.
