Remembering Window Sizes/Positions in Windows 7

Hi
I've read this thread regarding windows folder position/size (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproui/thread/5b524d53-df97-405d-835f-f081d106a19b)
however it doesn't address my issue.
For me, anytime I open a software, position it, play around in it and then close it, and reopen it again, it never goes back to the size/position I set it to. Same with Outlook. When I open a new email window, set its size and position, the next new email
window is never where it needs to be.
Is there a way for windows/outlook to remember where my software windows should be based on a position/size I give it?

Hi,
I would like to share the following link with you.

You can know that how windows remembers the Window size.
Regarding your outlook issue, you may close outlook then delete the frame key from HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Message\ and restart outlook. This will reset the window to the default size.

Window size/position

The new iTunes wont remember window size and position. Every time I open it I have to maximize the window. Why wont the program let the user and not Apple set the window size??

I have the same problem....hopefully Apple will address it soon.

Window size/position and title question

I can't work out how to control the position of my site
within it's window, or the size of the window. I've tried all the
settings in the Publish panel. I'm trying to get the flash stage
(750 x 500) to occupy the centre of a slightly larger window (900 x
600) which opens to that exact size.
I also can't work out how to set the window title to anything
other than index.
thanks, URL below

Firefox won't remember window size within the window

The size within the window will not remember it's size.
By either using the - / + or "Ctrl" & scroll wheel to change the size within the window...Firefox won't remember and when you go to the next window or link or tab or new page or whatever it goes back to the size it wants to be at (like a default size).
How do we get it to stay the same size for every page?

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
*Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
*NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
*You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
*To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Deselect: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"

Prevent PDFs from Changing Adobe Window Size & Position

Some PDF files have embedded codes to change the size and / or position of the Adobe (or Reader) window. This is a very irritating "feature" and is completely unnecessary, at best. I have looked through the various Preferences setting but nothing seems to address the problem. How do I prevent this from happening?
Thanks.

Thanks guys. Is there a way to prevent this action globally, i.e. for all documents, rather than just document-by-document after the fact? Any well-designed software would have a way to prevent documents from messing up my screen configuration, so I assume someone at Adobe had the wherewithall to have that as an option in Acrobat.

[Desktop] Remember the size, position and monitor last used when Spotify was closed

I always use Spotify on my smaller secondary monitor, but every time it loads it appears on my primary monitor and is the "default" size, so I need to move it to the other monitor and resize the window on a daily basis. Could Spotify remember the last know position and size it was set to, and automatically load using these settings next time it's opened? Thanks,James

Remember window scroll positions

one thing that drives me mad with bridge is that it doesn't remember the scroll position of windows.
for example:
* i have a browser window open in bridge, with a load of folders full of images [i always sort my pohotos into folders labelled by date taken, so this is a common occurence]
* i scroll to the bottom of the browser window and doubleclick one of the folders to open it.
* i do whatever i need to do with the photos inside
* i hit the back button to return me to the browser window for the enclosing folder
* instead of returning me to the window, scrolled to where i left it, bridge scrolls the window to the top. so i have to scroll back down again to find the next folder of images i want to open.
it's really annoying and something that almost no other app or OS does. even a web browser window remembers where it was scrolled to, when you hit the back button.
please fix this adobe!

Hi Elangsru,
No there is not such program that does do that for you.
I using a 24" Mac and ALL of my Applications that I use open ad FULL SCREEN.
How I did that? Open one by one the Applications you are using and drag the window to the size you like, that's it. Next time you open the same Application it will be open at full screen ore what ever size you set it to.
PS. the only Application I use and is NOT opening to the size I set it ore use it the last time is PhotoShop.

How can I get Lync 2013 to "remember" the size of my conversation window

Each time I open a Lync conversation, the window size always reverts to a default that is too small. With Lync 2010, a new conversation remembered the size of the window from a previous conversation. How can I get Lync 2013 to remember the
size from a previous conversation? I have a multi-monitor setup and would also like for Lync to remember the location of the last conversation window. Lync 2010 remembered both the size and location. I have Lync 2013 and Windows 7.

I believe what you're seeing is expected behaviour. The Lync 2013 client appears to remember the position of the conversation window relative to the Lync client itself. It seems like it is noting it's screen co-ordinates based on the clients location. This
works fine for single monitor, but ultimately means that a conversation window cannot remember it' location if it is on a different screen to the Lync client itself.
Regarding the window size - I believe this has come up before and is not something you can change either natively in Lync, or through registry manipulation.
Kind regards
Ben

Will only remember certain window sizes

Firefox 31 will only remember certain window sizes, only the page when the browser is first opened. Every page after that has to be enlarged. This always seems to be a problem with Firefox, why can't I have it remember my default window size?
Running Windows 8.1 Pro 64

I use Freemake Video Converter and this gives an option to deliver straight to I-Tunes. Vids appears under Films . So far for some reason I have managed to download lots of stuff from YouTube witout issue with the exception on 1 video from the band Within Temptation, however, a further 10 have downloaded perfectly from the same band. Can only assume there may be a corruption somewhere, although it was an Official Video by Vevo.

Setting window size

Is there any way to set what size windows will open in an application? I can do it in terminal but when I open a file in another app, like text edit, the window size is the same and I have to resize it, even when I close the window or file and re open it.

This is entirely determined by the application. Some applications will remember the size of the window when you save a document, others will not. TextEdit should remember the size of windows when you save, but will open at what it considers the default size and position when opening other files or creating new ones. TextEdit allows you to set the default window size in its preferences, in terms of 'x' characters wide and 'y' lines tall.

I'm trying to make the window size smaller in flash actionscript 3.0

car1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, some122);
function some122(event:MouseEvent):void{
var some122:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.cnn.com/"
navigateToURL(some122Link, "_blank");
Everything works perfectly when I takeout the "width=800, height=596". But I only want the screen to be a certain size. Any help is greatly needed.
Thanks

use the javascript window.open method to control window size, positioning etc:
function some122(e:MouseEvent):void {
var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.cnn.com', 'win', 'height=800, width=596');";
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
navigateToURL(url, "_blank");

Reducing window size

I need to make my parallels window smaller on my OSX desktop the tab to make it smaller is off the screen on the bottom of the screen.

Click on the minimize gadget (middle of the three on the top left) then resize. However, if you are referring to the window size when running Windows, then change the Windows' screen resolution.

Popup image works fine but how to control the window size

Hello folks,
I use
<img title="Click to pop up large image" src="#OWNER#.view_my_file_form?p_file=#IMGID#" width="40" height="30" />
to popup a image window. It works just fine. How can I set the popup image window size? The window is too big but the image is too samll.
Many thanks.
Mickey

The popupURL function is defined as
function popupURL(url)
w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=800,height=600");
if (w.opener == null) w.opener = self;
w.focus();
If 800x600 is too big for you, write your own mypopupURL function with whatever size you want

Some programs won't remember window size and position

I have a couple programs, notably ComicNerd, that won't ever seems to remember window size or position from quit to restart. I can't seems to find any evidence other people are having the same problem with the program, so I assume it's something wrong with my computer. Anyone have any idea how I can fix this? Is there some permissions problem or something?

It's likely a corrupted Preference file
Look in your Users/Library/Preferences folder for .plist file with ComicNerd in it and just move it to your desktop and restart the program/computer.
The preference file should rebuild itself, so look for it and if it's in the Preference folder then delete the one on the desktop.
You also might want to run ALL the cleaning and maintenance aspects of the free OnyX and reboot.

the Verify > preference (show only corrupted) should also help locate other corrupted .plist (Preference) files for similar action like you did above.

you can specify your preferences in systemsettings->window behaviour->window rules. Just add a new entry for the application you want to start in a specific size, position, etc.
There are tons of options there, have fun.
edit.: forgot to say that you can also specify a rule for more than one application.
Thanks. I always thought this was enabled by default and maybe something was off. Guess not.
