windows position and size..

[Guest]

I'm not sure if this is the right 'department' of the forum - or if at all,
I'll get an answer to this kind of Q here..?

I'm one of these guys who spend time adjusting all the different windows on
my desktop, 'cause I like them to open the same position and size - everytime
- I don't maximize all windows..

Now - e.g. the Console window - is it possible to edit somewhere so that I
can have it open the size and position I want..? And also to edit the left
hand pane width to my desire..?

Also - some websites forces your IE to open full size.. Then after you have
closed IE - and next time you open it - the browser opens full size again -
so, I have to ajust it back to my desired position and size once more..
Can that be fixed too..?

Not a "forum" - is a "newsgroup".

Okay. Not that I understand that - but okay. heh

Now - e.g. the Console window - is it possible to edit somewhere so
that I can have it open the size and position I want..? And also to
edit the left hand pane width to my desire..?

You mean the command console? Or do you mean some other window?
(Most windows in XP open where you last closed them.)

Also - some websites forces your IE to open full size.. Then after
you have closed IE - and next time you open it - the browser opens
full size again - so, I have to ajust it back to my desired
position and size once more..

Those are badly designed web sites - in my opinion.

Can that be fixed too..?

Doubtful.

hand pane width to my desire..?

Which one? MMC? Console1.msc? The command prompt?

Open the Command Prompt Properties...
Right click the cmd shortcut and select Properties.
With the command Prompt open, right-click the window's title bar and select
Properties.
With the command Prompt open, from the keyboard, press ALT + SPACEBAR + P.

Command Prompt Properties | Layout tab |
Window position

[[Positions the left side of the window.
If you want the system to automatically position the window, select the Let

Thx Wes - that helped

Still I would like to pursue the prob with IE being maximized when visiting
some web sites - and then I have to adjust again next time I open IE..
Is that possible to solve..?

IE usually remembers how it was last opened and opens that way the next time
it's opened.

What do you mean?...

Also - some websites forces your IE to open full size..

Clicking a shortcut to a website that you have placed on the Desktop?

IE remembers the last window that was opened.

This will have to be redone occasionally.

Open *one* instance of IE | Use the cursor (not the
maximize button) to drag the window to the desired
size | Click the Close [X] while holding down the
Ctrl key.
-----

When all else fails, paste the line below into Start | Run

javascript:window.open(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight)

Note: then make sure the above window is the last one closed.

Hi Wes,

You asked: What do you mean?...

Also - some websites forces your IE to open full size..<

Try this:
Open your IE..
Move it to e.g. the left hand top corner and size it down to e.g. half the
size of your screen..
Then close it..
Open it again - it should then be at the position and size you choose -
everything as usual - so far..
With this IE window open try this link that I came over as an example of a
web site which forces your IE to open full size: http://www.cargolux.com
Then close your browser - open it again - and now your previous setting has
gone - you have - not a maximized window - but it has expanded to almost full
size

Yepper.

From View | Source @ http://www.cargolux.com/

if (document.getElementById || document.all)
{
window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth, screen.availHeight);
}
else if (document.layers)
{
if (window.outerHeight<screen.availHeight ||
window.outerWidth<screen.availWidth)
{
window.outerHeight = screen.availHeight;
window.outerWidth = screen.availWidth;
}
}

I don't understand it all, but "window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,
screen.availHeight)" says it all. With all the *.css and *.js files
cargolux downloads to the TIF folder, those override any settings we made.

I never noticed this before because I always open IE Maximized.
