reposition window

[Guest]

how do you change the position and size of a window when you open up a new
window using an application like adobe or any software?
When i click on a link in a site that i visit, it opens a new window where
the information is in adobe reader - and the window is always in the top left
corner of the screen and requires to be maximised. there must be a way to
change these settings?

Window size and position are variables that not only can bet set by the
developer when the application is designed, but changed at run time.
It's at the developer's discretion to record the window position when
the application is closed so that it can be recovered from the hard
drive the next time the application is started. Some developers choose
to center the window in the display or position it in the upper left
corner (screen dimensions are EASY for the application to access).

Don't maximize, realign the window where you want it and usually the new
position will be stored. Here are some suggestions for window sizing.
Though it mentions IE, the same suggestions can work for other windows:

With IE shortcuts, you can right-click, click Properties, set the "Run:"
pane to "Maximized".

For IE instances opened from links within email and web sites, open one
IE window, drag the edges till it's the preferred size, nearly
maximized, then close the window. Also try closing the window while
pressing the Ctrl key. Usually this will help Windows remember the
preferred size. It'll be changed occasionally, when a popup window is
opened with specific size, and you'll have to do this again. Another
suggestion:

- Open a webpage. Stretch it out to full size. Don't use maximize.
- Choose any link on that webpage and right-click, open in a new window.
- Stretch that second window out to the desired size; don't use
maximize. You can enter this line though:
javascript:moveTo(0,0);resizeTo(1024,768)
(or whatever your screen resolution)
- Close the first IE window. Then close that second resized window.

To get maximized windows from Desktop and QL shortcuts, create a few
shortcuts to your browser on your Desktop, or Quick Launch bar, then
edit the shortcuts:

1. Change the "Target:" to:

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" http://lpga.com

(as an example site.)

2. After adding the internet address, change the "Run:" pane to "Maximized".

(That will make those shortcuts open IE maximized.) There's also
software available that will switch opened windows to the maximized
condition. Here's one:

Hope this helps,

IE shortcuts are wherever you want to place them, either on the Desktop,
on the QL bar, or in the Start Menu. To create some, right-click an IE
shortcut in the Start Menu, click SendTo - Desktop (Create Shortcut".

i found the values in the registry - so what are the values to set the window
as centrem max size?

Adjust the window manually and then read that key. Be aware it will
change from system to system and is resolution dependent.
