The program requires. NET Framework 4. One program, that I use every day, always needs resizing when it opens. This should simplify that process and keep it where it belongs. I can recommend ProcessKO to quickly and easily shut down any running process.
Sounds like a re-implementation of the old WinSize2 which, by the way, is still available on sourceforge. I use a program called WindowSpace, which does not do exactly what this one does, it allows the user to snap windows to into halves and quarter size by dragging them to an edge of the screen.

Window Resizer For Windows. Download Now. Related content Bitdefender Free will be retired on December 31, My impression is that this started to happen around Windows 8. Why on earth would you want to close a window, only to find that when you open it again…. WM works well for me mostly, and I blocked it calling home in my firewall, soon as I spotted it had that behavior. Really annoys me that something as basic as remembering a screen position, necessitates third party software, when earlier versions of Windows, managed perfectly well in this regard.
So this has been a very annoying habit of Microsoft, for years!!! Yeah, how on Earth computer programmers, who spend oodles of time getting all these intricate features of an operating system to work smoothly, could overlook something like having the program window re-open in the same dimensions and location as it was closed, is beyond understanding. What Microsoft need to do really, is get back to simple things — jewel-like coding that is neat and pared down to the bone.
Dream on eh! I have a problem with VLC player v3. Thanks Martin, just tried it. Brilliant program, low price, does the job, will definitively purchase. A very good, and more advanced alternative to control window position and sizes, and also snapping and moving windows, is MaxTo. Give it a try. One I use is WS Display settings. It can save and restore window positions and multi monitor monitor configurations. Also includes some nice extra features like move and resize active or inactive window below mouse pointer.

Users with a pirated version of Office are getting a discount offer for a Microsoft subscription. VeraCrypt 1. Almost as annoying as trying to explain it to Microsoft.
In other words, listen. It's a skill. Then work the problem. Understand that not all problems are satisfied with a microsoft GLOBAL solution, like "just save everything to one place from now on". Has there been a fix for this problem yet? This annoys the hell out of me, having to verify the correct location every time I save a file. If I have multiple windows open, I never know where the OS will decide to save by default. Sometimes it is where I want, the last location , and sometimes it is a Microsoft default, which may or may not make sense.
I use 7 every day. The worst part about things like this is trying to explain to an upset user why their files are not where they think they saved them at. Then having to explain to that same user, they have to use "save as" so they know where the file is going.
I really don't want to start flaming, but I sometimes have to wonder if anyone at Microsoft actually uses the OS they produce, for anything except cloud services? If they did things like this would be discovered, and fixed, long before I complain about them. This is even more aggravating than the software glitch itself. Please make Explorer work like it should, the way it did in XP. The MS help whatever Look, either you can or you can't. So, checked the indexing - it was. FAIL to the 40th power.
I get nothing for this, the app is free, and it works It's not the perfect solution but it's WAY more than a "work around". So it works in Windows 7 and from 3. Second it's logical, intuitive something MS clearly doesn't understand is supposed to be part of computing. Third it'll save me a TON of time. So it's NOT a perfect solution but it can jump to any of the networked drives I've put in, can be accessed straight from the keyboard easily and logically without being a total nerd , and has an easily managed and sortable list - and even a file FILTER option so you can quickly find and add attachments, work with particular docs etc.
Note that if a program uses its own "private" dialog boxes for these functions, you won't see our FileBox buttons, sorry. FileBox adds two handy buttons to these standard dialogs. These appear on the right side of the Windows dialog box title bars. These buttons appear next to the minimize, restore, and maximize buttons with which you're probably already familiar. Hi There notlikinms. Of course if you're not happy with Firefox you could also use Google Chrome - which works too!
I was happy with MS IE for years and only considered changing because of this one very very annoying issue. That's not nearly enough very's. The interesting thing is that I avoided other browsers for years and especially Google Chrome as this constantly nagged me to install every time I went to the 1st Google Search Page.
When I switched to Win7 - this was just one of the annoying things that I inherited. And not the sort of inheritance one would wish for! So to fix it I switched to Chrome.
Rant begins. MS spend much of their time telling you how good they are - they don't often stop long enough to recognise what they're not good at! One of them is listening and the second interpreting, which inevitably leads to the 3rd - not understanding. You encountered it here - none of the MS answers - even got close to understanding your issue and that's why you didn't get an answer.
Oh I realise they didn't have a solution but instead of fobbing you off with the standard MS Manual answer found on page , they could have suggested you try an alternative browser and then advised that your issue had been put to the Win8 Dev Team for consideration.
What they need is a retrain on - "how to avoid becoming an idiobot"! Don't get me wrong I'm not a MS basher but sadly large organisms sometimes need a little push and because Monoliths are hard to move it takes a little longer. What we want is better future products. For the large part I'm happy with Win7 but I'm a great believer in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it! Well MS it wasn't broke and you went n' fixed it anyway! Now it's broke! Now what should the MS team really do - but set up a Skunk Works.
Unlike the original purpose that Lockheed had, this team should compose of none indoctrinated MS personnel to pull the projects apart. The freedom not to work under the MS umbrella would allow largely detached and objective thought.
This team could work at speed and foster ideas and kill processes that are not justified - there's a thing about trying to be too clever you usually fall flat on your face. It isn't that their current solution is unwanted for some it may help but for most people they didn't see the need for the change - so the question is why did they? Find the answer to that and you will find the answer to "what is wrong with their dev process"!
End of Rant. IsaacClarke Win7 Pro 64bit - 3. Please list what program you're trying to save data from, and the sequence you're going through to see the problem. Something's specifically wrong with your system, because it doesn't work that way on all systems. Maybe an add-on is forcing your default folder or something. For example, from within IE9 when I right-click a Photo and choose Save Picture As, it just brings up the location I last saved something into, as shown here:.
Have you tried running IE without Add-ons to see if this behavior is changed? If it's any consolation, I've created a virtual machine with a bone stock Windows 7 installation and a fresh update to IE9, and I can reproduce the behavior you describe.
Now I'm working on trying to figure out specifically what setting I've configured or option I've set that makes IE9 save wherever I last saved to, instead of defaulting to the Pictures library. I don't recall one that does exactly that, but the change in behavior must be tied to one of the many I've tweaked. When I was trying it by starting the 32 bit Internet Explorer from the pinned icon from the Taskbar in my test virtual machine, it would behave as you have described - always defaulting to the Pictures entry under Libraries.
My host and test VM are both 64 bit Windows 7 installations, and on a hunch I just tried it with the x64 build of Internet Explorer After right-clicking, choosing Save picture as But when I close and restart IE again it reverts back to the Pictures library entry for the next image save operation, which is still different from what I'm seeing on my host Windows 7 system, where it always defaults to the last folder on the next run. I thought I was onto something with the 32 vs.
Is this the same for you, or have I managed to trigger half of the desired behavior already? I have not yet determined what it is that on my host Windows 7 system causes IE9 to remember Save As locations across browser sessions, but it definitely does so. I'm now going through the settings I've documented in my book to see which of them evokes the desired behavior.
Hm, on further examination of my host system in the process of trying to get to the bottom of this, it appears that if I close each and every IE9 window, then wait a little while until all iexplore. Apparently I typically just keep enough IE9 sessions running all the time that I have not noticed the behavior you describe.
The question of whether you could possibly use this as even a workaround seems to come down to: Do you see it revert back to the Pictures entry under Libraries even in the same session after you have successfully saved an image in a non-default folder?
In my case, I have disabled Tabbed browsing because that is my preference and that may have changed the way I see it work as compared to you - I always start a new browser window where you might just open a new tab. But after doing a bunch of testing I'll say this: I originally misspoke a bit - under some conditions and I'm not completely sure I understand what they all are , I sometimes DO see the same thing you do.
But under other conditions I see the Save Picture As This may be because they're doing something funky where they're doing rendering in a 32 bit process even though I start IE10 with the 64 bit iexplore. I suggest that if you got some benefit out of this forum that you give back to the forum by posting your workaround here. I'm sure the other folks above would be interested in learning it. Maybe I'll answer. Please share the knowledge. I've been researching this problem for days and no one has a fix or workaround.
I would greatly appreciate the answer and I know there are millions of user would like to have an answer. Every time it's 7 mouse clicks and lots of frantic mouse-wheel scrolling I just wanted to let you know that it worked for me on all three Windows 7 clients I tested it on.
It appears in many programs, and selecting the last place shows many recent places in alphabetic order, so I have to reorder that before getting back to the catalog. I assume that anyone using their own catalog structure must hit this problem all the time, so it is really hard to notice. Perhaps if you go on with suggested recommendation and do not change proposed catalogs you do not see it. Repeating the same sequence 10 times should let the system know what I am trying to do, save in the same catalog!
MSFT quit putting their laundry in droars.. This is about as brainless as buying a gps to goto the store Microsoft ive been with you since the late 80's.. Ive considered other OS's since win 7 came out.
I've lost countless cumulative hours of productivity repeatedly navigating through folder trees every single time I need to open or save any file within Microsoft Office applications. Other publishers Adobe, Corel, Mozilla, etc. With FileBox eXtender at last I can avoid tediously clicking through every branch of the folder tree every time I insert a picture etc. I have the same problem, but Filebox eXtender doesn't solve it.
It opens folders in an easy way, but doesn't do anything for the save-as irritation. I have never needed as many clicks as now in W I put a shortcut to this conversation on my desktop, hoping the miracle will happen.
