Remember the positions of the windows

Good if I'll really go back in time, I think remember me on 3 window... something that you could say it remember the window position, so he opened in the same place every time.

I use a wide screen and open several applications at the same time.

Is it possible to 'say' an app to open at a certain position on the screen. That is to say that I love my calculator to be always down, but it opens up on the left.

See you soon

Hello PaulGibbs,

Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

This happens with all of your applications, or just calculator?

Windows stores the location where you close your application and opens the next time in this place. However, there are third party software that may interfere with this process.

Try to perform a clean boot:

Step 1: Perform a clean boot

 

Note If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.

·          Log the computer by using an account with administrator rights.

·          Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

·          On the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)

·          Under the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.

Note Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.

·          Click OK and then click on restart.

Step 2: Enable half the services

·          Follow steps 1a and 1B to start the System Configuration utility.

·          Click the Services tab, and then click to select the skin all the Microsoft services checkbox.

·          Click to select half of the check boxes in the Service list.

·          Click OK and then click on restart.

Step 3: Determine whether the problem returns

If the problem persists, repeat steps 1 and 2. In step 2, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have initially enabled in the Service list.

If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 1 and 2. In step 2, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the Service list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

If only one service is selected in the list of services, and you the problem persists, the service selected the cause of the problem. Go to step 6. If no service is causing this problem, go to step 4.

Step 4: Enable half of the startup items

Perform a clean boot by repeating step 1.

Click the Startup tab, and then click to select half of the check boxes in the startup item list.

Click OK and then click on restart.

Step 5: Determine whether the problem returns

If the problem persists, repeat steps 1 and 4. In step 4, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have originally selected in the startup item list.

If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 1 and 4. In step 4, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the startup item list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

If only one startup item is selected in the startup item list, and you still experience the problem, start selected in the list element is the service that is causing the problem. Go to step 6.

If no startup item causes this problem, a Microsoft service most likely the cause of the problem. To determine which Microsoft service may be causing the problem, repeat step 1 and step 2 without selecting the hide all Microsoft services check box in each step.

Step 6: Resolve the problem

After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

Step 7: Reset the computer to start as usual

When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to restart restart the computer to start as usual:

·          Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

·          On the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

·          When you are prompted to restart the computer, click Restart.Collapse this includes this image

  • ADE can't remember the size of the screen

    Hello

    Windows 7 offers the opportunity to maximize windows by dragging the bar of the upper/lower window to the border of the upper and lower screen. It works even for CVI

    If I have the environment option "Hide windows when the application runs" chose, after closing the application and return to the source code window, that it turns out that the CVI don't honor / remembers the size of the screen, i.e. the size of window CVI is not expanded more

    If possible, I would prefer that it be fixed

    Workaround is to not use an automatically magnified window... you are remembered the window manually adjusted sizes.

    Ah, I see. You were referring to the maximization of the window from specific edge (enlarged only horizontally or only vertically).

    You're right, ICB doesn't handle well those States of maximization. For example, if you close the CVI ADE with the window of the workspace in this state that is optimized in terms of edge, even if the window will appear to be the same size when you restart CVI, is more aware that it is being enlarged and so he lost his dimensions of original, not optimized in terms. It is no longer behaves as a maximized window.

    The symptom you described is another manifestation of the same problem.

  • Get the position of the control in the window of the façade

    Hello

    I have the window façade divided with dispatchers on several components. On a glass, I have a button (and an overlay window) I want to move programmatically at run time. I would like to get the position of the button according to the coordinate system of façade, but to my knowledge, no such property exists. I know that I can calculate the position if I calculate the position of each knife (or component) that is between the origin of the façade and the button, but it takes a lot of time if you have many such cases.

    Any ideas are appreciated.

    I have an old computer use more, but I need to get some documents but I don't remember the username to connect to windows and there is no index. How can I connect

    Hi joedoerksen,

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Start the computer in safe mode. Built-in Administrator account would be displayed on the Welcome screen. Choose the account administrator and you should be able to boot to the desktop, if you have not set a password for the default Administrator account.

    Method 2: If you have set a password for the default Administrator account, then the only option is to go for a parallel installation of Windows XP and retrieve documents.

    Follow the method 4 install Windows XP to a new folder (parallel installation) of the article.

  • How can I start my XP desktop PC using the original CD of the Windows XP operating system, but I don't remember my password?

    The last time I asked a question like that, someone made it is perfectly clear that they would not help me to crack a password..., three times. If you have any suggestions that may help me in fact, I'd be in your debt. Otherwise, save your time and ignore all this.

    I am trying to perform a repair to the XP operating system. When I try to boot from the CD drive using the original Windows XP disc, I can not connect. It's a dead-end.

    When I try to boot from the hard drive, the system reaches a certain point, and then it re-boots. If I just sit and watch, it keeps re-initialization. Strange thing is that recently, I changed the password. I simply do not remember what it is. And, seriously, I have experienced repeated amnesia episodes. The obvious thing to do is to keep my own hand written records..., I only using computers since 1982, before IBM introduced its first PC.

    The BIOS provides a way to clean up all the stored passwords? This is where I'm going next.

    I apologize for being a little rough. Part of that comes with age.

    Jeff

    Hello, Jeffrey. I just read one of your other threads. Brian Tillman brings a great point that you missed. The BIOS password (if it still exists) has absolutely NOTHING to do with the other passwords, including those for things like a Windows XP profile.

    Unless you have created passwords, while they do not exist. So, if you need to boot from the Windows CD using the Recovery Console, and you are prompted for a password, then chances are that just by pressing the Enter key (indicating an 'empty' or empty password) is all you need to do.

    So, if I were you, I would not at all concerned about your BIOS.

    In addition, I think you mentioned that you couldn't even see the administrator account. Assuming you have Windows XP Home Edition, this is how it is supposed to be. If you want to see it, you will need boot mode safe. Then you will see. :-)

    If you DID create a password and have no idea of what it is, there are tools to reset your password. But I think that people don't post links to these programs in these forums Microsoft (not very well why). But they are easy to find if you use a search engine.

    You say that you have recently changed a password, but you did not indicate what it was for. It is important to understand that the built-in Administrator account is NOT the same as another account that you are using happens to have administrator privileges. And assuming that you never set a password for the built-in Administrator account, so if you are using the Recovery Console, everything you need to do is press the Enter key.

    HTH.

    Three options.

    1: take the corners of the window and drag it to the format full screen. Do not use to expand. Close all other windows first via the taskbar and the latter. Windows will remember the size of the last closed window the next time that you open the program.

    2: any shortcut you use to launch the window, right-click, and select Properties. Under the 'Run' drop-down list, choose "expanded".
