Windows XP and windows sizes

[Trond Svendsen]

I'm trying to figure out how to start different applications at specific
positions and window sizes on my desktop. Adobe Acrobat Professional to be
specific.

Everytime I start it up, it changes size/position. I can't find any registry
entries that determines the settings, and Adobe says there aren't any. But I
know from previous that it's possible. It all changed after i switch from
1600x1280 to 1600x1200 resolution, new monitor didn't support the higher
resolution.

Tried to remove/re-install Adobe, but nothing changed. Is there a
reg-setting in WinXP that stores the information?

Hi

I'm not sure it's possible. AFAIK the window size is global.

your only option is to start program: normal, minimized, maximized (you can
change this setting at
desktop>right click on icon>properties>shortcut>run)

I find this hard to believe, becuase I have the same application at home,
and there it starts at the exact same position/size (not maximized) every
time.

Hi

Specific sizes of windows for individual apps. I don't think is possible.
The 'solution' you gave is global - and won't work!!

That's the only solution I can think of that's available.
Other than that get used to extra click when you start program
