Just came across HTG and it is great. Already used the info to automate CCleaner.

I have some programs that insist on opening their GUI in the middle of the screen or elsewhere. I am looking for a way to have these programs always open with the same window size and the same position that I want them to on the desktop.

Anyone point me to the solution?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply raphoenix, but AutoSizer does not really do what I want. It appears that it is suppossed to have the ability to have a program open in the same desktop location, but I was unable to get that part to work. It will change the size of a program window and lock that so it repeats when it is opened again. But where it opens on the desktop is my primary goal.

Thanks again.

zrabbit,

OK

Just keep checking back on this thread.

You realize, I presume, that there is a difference between how the XP GUI works and how Browser windows work.
