How to save a position and dimensions of windows on the desktop?

How to save a position and dimensions of windows on the desktop?

In Vista, there are limited means of control Windows and many of those who apply to the general patterns and not to individual windows.

The following includes about what Vista can offer in this area, and I don't think that this will do exactly what you want (even if it is possible that the first option with references to other related articles can do a little of that, but I don't think that he can do everything or entirely as you wish without 3rd party help) except for the 3rd party program that winsizeme also mentioned below.  That may do the trick:

Here's how to change the default template for a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets thefolder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show you how to resetthe Windows Explorer folder view settings, disable Automatic folder Type discovery and increase theview of the folder cache to have Vista don't forget display settings, model of file type, size, or position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with,open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the goodFile menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program WinSizeMehttp://www.pcmag.com/article2/0, 2817,2339650,00.asp to resize them and record the sizes and locations (I changed the program that mentioned in the article, because even if it is a Vista article, the 3rd referenced application part it does not indicate speciiquement is compatible with Vista so that it doesn't).  I have never personally used this program myself so I can't say for some it will achieve your goals, but from what I've read on this subject, it should do the trick (although I don't think it will be automatic - you may need to set each window you want to save in this way - but that's about all that's available if you need to decide whether or not this alternative is better or) (no).  I'm not certain if it applies to programs or only records - but since it's free you can test and see if it helps you with your situation (it may be that it is useful in some cases and not the worth or effective in others - it of for you to decide (but considers that there is really no other alternative that those presented here - just Vista is not this type of detailed features except to a lesser extent) as described in section 1 above).

Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she claims it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the prior links provided:http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)  I include it only because it is an option - but also what he says it is not a very good alternative (but if none of the other works, it may be worth).

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • Tried to turn off my computer and it froze. Now, the desktop does not load and I get a message saying that Windows Explorer is not responding

    Original title: virus Possible?

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium on a Toshiba laptop. The last time I tried to stop it, it froze (got as far as the last screen showing 'close', then didn't). The next time I turned it on the desktop would not load completely (white screen, no desktop icons, accesses start bar) and if I click on the desktop I get a message saying "Windows Explorer is unresponsive. I tried to scan antivirus, but that also froze. I ran Microsoft defender several times, and it always freezes on C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe. While I can access internet Explorer, I can't click on the links that would open a new page (gel once more). Finally I can't yet do a reboot or a full stop. If it's a virus, how can I solve the problem when no anti-virus software is running?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! I just moved across the world and have little knowledge of computers (but I'm much less following the instructions!). The last thing I need is for my laptop to be drunk so I can't communicate with the House...

    ------------------------

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
    Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Avast - home - free - 7.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.

    Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  • How to re - activate the functions 'Restore previous Session', "Recently closed tabs" and "Recently closed Windows" in the menu of history?

    For some time, four choices in the restore section (tabs of other devices, Previous Session Restore recently closed tabs and recently closed Windows) have been shaded. Keyboard shortcuts do not work, and didn't undo closed tab in the context menu of the tab.

    I found and tried various patches to do this, including:

    • From Firefox in Mode safe without addons.
    • Firefox reset.
    • Change the values of browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo and browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo in all: config.
    • Check to see if I have a user.js in profile Firefox. (I don't).
    • Verify that the private browsing is not the default mode. (It is not).
    • Create a profile to see if it had the same problem. (He did.)
    • Running anti-malware analysis. (BitDefender and SpyBot).
    • Temporarily disable my anti-virus and anti-malware.

    Any of these solve my problems.

    Other devices tab is grayed out, but I've never used, and it might have previously grayed out.

    The story works in general. Sites I visit are added to the log.

    Preferences are saved correctly when I change them.

    Any advice on how to solve the problem would be much appreciated, as I am very fond of these features and often served until they stopped working.

    ADDITIVE

    After that looking through the list of preferences of change created by the resolution of the problems, I tried now also reset the following text:

    • browser.places.smartBookmarksVersion
    • browser.newtabpage.storageVersion
    • Browser.cache.Disk.Capacity
    • Browser.cache.Disk.smart_size.first_run
    • Browser.cache.Disk.smart_size.use_old_max
    • Browser.cache.Disk.smart_size_cached_value

    The problem persists.

    I finally managed to understand this. In searching the Web, I found a thread detailing a similar problem on the Mozillazine forum. The problem has been identified as a missing browser.sessionstore.enabled set, so I went looking in Subject: config and couldn't find it. After creating the entry, by assigning the value true and restart Firefox, the functions of recovery/recently started working again. Apparently, some bookmark plugins and session-based can cause this problem, but in my case, it must have been something else, that I never had no such plug-ins installed.

    If you have this problem, here's a detailed itinerary of the way I fixed it. Whereas there seems to be several problems that can cause restore/recently functions to stop working, it is not a guaranteed fix, but it is still a thing to try, at least.

    1. Open a new tab or window.
    2. Type of topic: config address in the box and press ENTER.
    3. Read reviews and promise to be careful.
    4. Copy this: browser.sessionstore.enabled - and paste in Subject: config'search box in s. press ENTER.
    5. If you copied the text at the top right, the setting should appear in the list. If it is not the case, you have the same problem, I did. (I would say that you copy/paste the text indicated and only this text before moving on to double check).
    6. If the parameter does not exist, right click on the parameters of the list and choose new-> Boolean. Paste the parameter name that you copied previously in the name box, click OK and then set the Boolean true. Once you have click OK, restart Firefox, and (hopefully) things should work properly again.

    Thanks to everyone who offered help and thoughts!
